Gore's Testimony a Success

The general consensus is that Al Gore's testimony was a success even if it lacked "fireworks."
Washington Post's Warren Brown said that Gore "actually made sense, especially on the matter of fuel economy and its relationship to global warming." He quoted Gore's chastising of Congress, saying it should "abandon its habitual blame-shifting, responsibility-dodging approach to energy conservation."
"It was part science class, part policy wonk paradise, part politics and all theater," according to the New York Times. NYT noted a subtle divide between global warming believers and the die-hard skeptics: "Beneath the carefully groomed surface of the House and Senate committees’ scripted production, a rift was evident. Republican committee leaders, including Mr. Barton in the House, and Mr. Inhofe in the Senate, seemed somewhat isolated from their rank-and-file colleagues, who appeared more receptive to Mr. Gore’s message and the scientific consensus on climate change."
The L.A. Times, land of Hollywood, placed more emphasis on the hoopla surrounding Gore's return to the halls of politics than on his actual testimony: "The doors swung open and he made his entrance with cameras clicking, the wooden politician denied the presidency and derided as "Ozone Man" was coming home to the Capitol. But this time they called him a movie star and likened him to a prophet." There's more (Gore "can share a stage with Leonardo DiCaprio and still manage to be the center of attention"), but you get the idea.
All and all a pretty good outing for the "Goracle."
