From Green Right Now Reports

Former vice president and Nobel Prize winner Al Gore announced that his next book, Our Choice, will tackle solutions to global warming. The book, which picks up on the themes of his previous book An Inconvenient Truth, will be published Nov. 3 by Rodale.

By John DeFore
It must be a bittersweet moment to be Darrell Hammond.

Every talk Al Gore gives, after all, continues to prove the Saturday Night Live veteran’s brilliance at honing in on the speech patterns of public figures; if Gore can’t tweak his style after years of mockery, then clearly Hammond caught something elemental.
But in [...]
