# The article reiterates the accusation of [[special pleading]] against Gore--that while his Academy Award winning film asks, "Are you prepared to change your lifestyle?", Gore has not shown himself willing to change his own.

Point number one above is the most important point, though points two and three show that former Senator Gore is not the most qualified authority on the subject.
