With so many facts on display, errors inevitably creep in: Bronze wasn&#8217;t chosen over copper in ancient times because copper is too brittle (it isn&#8217;t brittle at all) but because bronze tools could hold an edge under hard use, as copper tools couldn&#8217;t. Even so, Mr. Gore&#8217;s fans will find the book a useful introduction to the future, if not to the past. Yes, he does go on about climate change at some length, but that is hardly news. There is much, much more to the book than a rehash of the global-warming debate.]]>Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:00:03 -0500<![CDATA[Allahpundit]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2013/02/02/al-gore-dreams-of-electric-jeeps-n99819
