Theirs is an unlikely alliance: the heir to the throne, the leader of the Church of England and the man who so nearly got the most powerful job in the world.Hey, if we only have to listen to Gore for 10 more years, it might be worth it.
But the Prince of Wales, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Al Gore will this week launch a new project to encourage big business to become more "green".
Prince Charles is said by aides to be "totally committed" to the scheme in which companies will be urged to assess – and reverse – the damage they are doing to the environment.
The Sunday Telegraph can also reveal that Prince Charles recently held a private meeting at Highgrove, his country home, with Mr Gore, the former presidential candidate, to discuss their shared passion for saving the environment.
Now Mr Gore has agreed to provide a video message, which will be screened to nearly 200 politicians, businessmen and other guests at St James's Palace on Wednesday night. The former vice-president was in Britain in September to promote his film, An Inconvenient Truth, which warns that the world has just 10 years to save itself.
So, who do we have leading this charge? We have Al Gore, loser in 2000 despite his best effort to steal the election, Prince Charles, who loses every day that his mother continues to reign (he'll probably be the oldest king ever crowned, assuming he can outlive his mother), and the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose church is quickly self-destructing around the world as they focus on lefty political and social issues rather than spreading the gospel.
What are the odds that these three will be successful at anything?
