Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper reviewing this work by former US vice president Gore. Gore’s publisher places on the book jacket glowing terms such as “intellectual brilliance” and “impeccable scholarship” to describe the contents of Gore’s 1992 work. The positions and sentiments that Gore presents in the work are admirable and do indeed deserve greater attention before the world of the future transforms itself into the present. Gore’s suggestions are so unworkable, however, that even Gore himself abandoned all but the rhetoric throughout his eight years as Vice President, during which time he had immense opportunity to, in essence, “put his money where his mouth is.” As has been the case with so many other self-styled “environmentalists,” Gore has demonstrated that there is little semblance between what he writes in the pages of “Earth in the Balance” and what he, as politician, businessman and individual, chooses to practice.

and sentiments that Gore (1992) presents in the work are admirable and do indeed deserve greater attention before the world of the future transforms itself into the present. Gores
(1992) suggestions are so unworkable, however, that even Gore himself abandoned all but the rhetoric throughout his eight years as Vice President, during which time he had immense opportunity to,
in essence, "put his money where his mouth is." As has been the case with so many other self-styled "environmentalists," however, Gore has demonstrated that there is little semblance
between what he writes in the pages of Earth in the Balance and what he, as politician, businessman and individual, chooses to practice.
Earth in the Balance presents valid arguments for changing many types of current practice, illustrating his points with visual images that lead the reader to want to stand, cheer,
