". . .every American who understands the full threat of global warming has a moral obligation to make as many personal changes as possible right now."–Mike Tidwell, in an essay entitled "Forget the Light Bulbs"Al Gore has not only helped bring the issue of climate change into our political discourse, he has also shaped and framed the discussion in terms of a moral issue. In a country obsessed with family values and strong morals, that is perhaps an effective way of getting the attention of, for lack of a better term, "the religious right." However, by making environmentalism, and therefore environmentalists, bearers of moral propriety, he has created a situation in which the lay public views the green movement as sanctimonious.
