Got to give the man credit for consistency on this ('The child is father to the man'?): Gore in 1982 was said by CHEMICAL WEEK to be "widely regarded as one of the nation's most powerful legislators on matters affecting the chemical industry, such as ecology and product safety. And as an aggressive young congressman with a strong commitment to environmental and consumer causes, he is seen by many chemical executives as a man whose star they least wish to see rise."
Twenty-five years later he won the Nobel Peace Prize (jointly with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC]) "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."
