Al Gore, not only known as the 45th Vice President of the United States, is also known for his Academy Award-winning documentary, "The Inconvenient Truth". Through this powerful film on global warming, Gore presents himself as an environmentalist and an activist. With such high interests in sustaining the environment and educating the public on what we are doing wrong, it's no wonder why Gore's been getting some heat about the ways he helps the environment.
On Tucker, an MSNBC show, after the Academy Awards occurred, host Tucker Carlson questioned the real morality behind Al Gore's global warming campaign. Although an activist for protecting the environment, facts about Gore's spendings may lead some to view him as a hypocrite. Carlson points out that Gore's energy and gas spendings exceeds that of an average American. It was almost $30,000 alone for year 2006 for his Nashville home that spreads out around 10,000 square feet. Whether this information is true or not, the allegation may lead to an image crisis for Gore.
Although Gore fights for the Earth, does he really stand by it? His expensive spendings on gas and electricity may illustrate him as a rich politician who cares nothing for the environment and only cares about publicity. But if it is not true or if it can be explained, then Gore should do something right away to fix his image. With all the different sides of the story we are getting, the public will never know what is true or not. Gore will soon be losing his credibility, along with supporters, if nothing is done.
What's the best way for Gore to salvage his image? Talk to the public. If Gore proves to the public that he can save like any average American or explain why his spendings are so high, then he'll regain his credibility. If he can defend himself on these accusations to the public, whether they are true or not, then his supporters will understand what is going on. Gore will need to start changing his image before others start following Tucker's footstep in criticizing his reputation.

You say Al Gore might need some PR help, and offer some advice on "salvaging" his image.
Are you kidding? The man just won an Academy Award for his well-regarded and influential documentary, An Inconvenient Truth...I'd say that was some pretty good PR.
From the sound of your post, I think you've been imbibing too much right-wing propaganda. What you've reprinted is what's known as character assassination. Don't be their water carrier.
By the way, having a garage full of Hummers doesn't seem to have stopped Gov. Schwarzenneger from building a reputation as an environmental advocate, so I doubt an oversize house will get in Gore's way.
This works a lot better. Now it focuses on the criticisms of Gore without simply repeating what's essentially an "attack ad."
