Since I began my blog in August, I’ve only made a single tribute, and that was to
Norman Mailer, when he died. Today, I’m going to make a tribute to a living man,
Al Gore, whom I admire now more than I did when I voted for him in the
2000 United States Presidential Election. I think that in any country the majority of people
believe that Gore would have been a better president, but there is no doubt he would have done more to help the environment. Witnessing the effects of air pollution in Bogotá has reaffirmed to me the major environmental problems on our planet. His effort to
inform and encourage the public to take action to change the climate earned him the
Nobel Peace Prize today in Oslo, Norway. It seems that Gore, like
Jimmy Carter, has been more productive since leaving political life. The biggest things I admire about Gore are his heart and conviction after a
devastating presidential loss. He has pursued his passion, spoken around the world, and attracted the support of average Americans as well as pop stars. While many politicians continue to equivocate, Gore continues to stick to his word and use his clout to do tremendous good for the world.
