GREEN ADVOCATE AL GORE HAS A RED FACE BECAUSE HE LEFT HIS CAR RUNNING WHILE GIVING A LECTURE ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AT THE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, ECONOMICS AND LAW IN GOTHENBURG, SWEDEN LAST WEDNESDAY.  

HE HAD ASKED HIS DISTINGUISHED GUESTS TO ATTEND THE EVENT BY USING PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION TO KEEP EMISSIONS TO A MINIMUM.

HE ESCAPED THE NORMAL FINE FOR ALLOWING AN ENGINE TO RUN MORE THAN 60 SECONDS.  IT WAS A RENTAL CAR AND MAYBE HE JUST WAS JUST NOT ACCUSTOMED TO ITS OPERATION.  

BUT AL, AT AN ENVIRONMENTAL MEETING????
