As noted around the time Kleiner Perkins took him on as a partner:
"...two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, ’cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ”And from Splash 24/7:
Former American vice-president Al Gore has set out to track and publish data on all greenhouse gas emissions – including from shipping.
Gore is part of a new alliance of climate research groups called the Climate TRACE (Tracking Real-Time Atmospheric Carbon Emissions) Coalition, which launched this week.....MUCH MORE
In addition to Gore and WattTime, the coalition includes another power plant focused entity, Carbon Tracker, environmental data specialist Earthrise Alliance, forest tracker Carbon Plan, agricultural research outlet Hudson Carbon, mining focused start-up Hypervine, fire tracker Blue Sky Analytics and, crucially for shipping, OceanMind, a start-up that initially focused on illegal fishing activities by tracking AISs, but has since developed its system to track all ships and, by identifying their engine specifications, extrapolate every vessel’s carbon emissions....The alliance is spearheaded by Gore, who wrote and starred in the 2006 environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth, and Gavin McCormick, founder and executive director of WattTime, a California start-up now owned by Rocky Mountain Institute, which also controls the Carbon War Room. WattTime combines artificial intelligence, satellite data and other data sources to track power plant emissions.Our work will be extremely granular in focus — down to specific power plants, ships, factories, and more
In fairness to Mr. Gore, while science may not be his forte, he has been awarded an Oscar, a Grammy and half a Nobel Peace Prize (shared with the U.N.'s IPCC)
He also had a fish named for him: Etheostoma gore
