Al Gore can’t seem to catch a break these days.
Between a high-profile public divorce, accusations of sexual assault, and a crazed gunman citing his work as the inspiration for his “awakening,” the former vice president’s image has been in a bit of a PR freefall of late.
Now this bit of cruel irony: The Los Angeles-area Carson-Gore Academy of Environmental Sciences, named after Gore and pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson , was built atop an environmentally contaminated piece of real estate, the Los Angeles Times reports. Some are now raising concerns that the $75.5 million school – which sits across the street from an oil well – may pose long-term health risks to its students, faculty and staff, as the groundwater beneath it is contaminated by chemicals.

Poor Al Gore. Stuck inside counting his carbon credit money. People raising questions about the polar bear “issue”. Takes the heat for the deal his father did with that that lease with Occidental Petroleum/ Armand Hammer/ Soviet agent, yadda yadda yadda. Never been able to figure out how to get a “date”; [gee whiz, Bill gets LOTS of “dates”.] The two most publicized readers of his book are the Unibomber and the Discovery Channel bomber/shooter. And now getting a toxic building named after him.

He just doesn’t get any respect.

He has a heck of a lot of money for someone who get “no respect”.

One of the many ways in which I drive people crazy is my habit of whistling the same song over and over for weeks, until a “committee” bearing torches arrives at my house and demands I switch to some other song tune.

Anyway, it just came to mind, perhaps Al Gore’s “theme song” … something about “I’m only a bird in a gilded cage” … “sold my soul for an old man’s gold” …

Carson-Gore academy. I guess they only teach you how to publish tragically flawed research.

Ah! Rachel Carson.

Does she have to account for all those people who have died from malaria after she came out with “Silent Spring”?

What a pair: Al Gore and Rachel Carson.

It would be very ironic if it was overrun with mosquitoes. " Silent Spring" ranks as one of the most dadly books ever written

Yup. Sadly, mosquitos have killed millions. DDT had them under control, before that idiotic book caused it to be banned.

Yep, for a short while she out-paced abortion as a killer of people. If people hadn’t come to their senses, she could have made a run at genocide. I’m sure it made Ms. Sanger proud.
