"...If saving the world were really Gore’s top priority shouldn’t his video be freely available on YouTube by now? And shouldn’t he be seizing every opportunity to address live audiences – rather than demanding a speaking fee of $170,000?
Here is a link to a 2007 magazine article reporting that Gore’s speaking fee four years ago was indeed $170,000. Here’s a link to a Washington University newspaper article dated today that says his speaking fee is currently $145,000 (backup links here and here).
Today’s article points out that the university has never before paid more than $100,000 to a single speaker. It observes that Gore’s $145,000 fee is equal to the amount that was divided amongst eight speakers last year."
