33. Al Gore is not a scientist. He's a writer and a teacher.
He is a writer who has the gift for distilling raw research into a form that the average intelligent person can understand, relate to and get excited about. He's the science teacher I wished I had in high school.
This is important. Most scientists are so immersed in their disciplines that they have great difficulty relating to the general public. Because most people--even highly intelligent and educated ones--lack the background to read and evaluate scientific studies, they are easily dismissed.
