"...Many of Gore's ideas are inevitably familiar, but the clarity of his argument and the fissile power of his analysis combine to elevate Our Choice into the top-ranking environmental books of our time.
"Above all, Gore's magisterial way with words should administer the electric shock required to defibrillate policymakers from their present semi-comatose state. In addition, Our Choice is illustrated with a stunning array of photographs and diagrams..."

Al Gore keeps being criticized for no reason. I thank you for the new book and for this review. I saw David Letterman's interview with him, and Al Gore is not the humorless figure that some people hold him to be because he stays calm at what would make them panic, if that is the problem. American actors may have to show fear and emotion at horror, he is not a movie actor, and neither are we. And that is not why we need to all perish. Al Gore is not obsessed, he is being realistic. I never understood what's wrong with his image either. It is not his choice but our choice. I agree with Letterman that Al Gore may be a wealthy man gladly if he helps to save our world. But money doesn't grow on trees, and knowing this he is already wealthy.
