Al Gore crusades against global warming Peter Fimrite, Chronicle Staff Writer Wednesday, November 11, 2009 (11-10) 18:24 PST San Rafael — Al Gore and his crusade against global warming landed in the Bay Area this week with a call to arms and a message for those who still think the former vice president is tilting at windmills. The solution to climate change includes windmills, along with solar and geothermal energy, Gore told The Chronicle in an interview. He also defended himself against attacks by critics who accuse him of pushing the green agenda so that he can personally benefit from investments he has made in green technology. “I have made some investments in the last few years that are in keeping with my beliefs and values. Were I not to do so, these same people would call me a hypocrite,” Gore said. “I have delivered the same message for more than 30 years and now I’m in a position to put at least some of my money where my mouth is.” […] “There are still 14 or 15 percent of the people who think that the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona. If the polls are to be believed, there is still a nontrivial number who believe the Earth is flat,” Gore said. “The intergovernmental panel on climate change backed up by the national academies of science in every major country in the world have said that the evidence is now unequivocal.” […] LINK
