In 2006, at the end of his movie An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore offered a number of things that the average person could do to decrease their impact on global climate change. They could ride a bike or take mass transit, the former vice-president advised. They could drive a fuel-efficient car, and they could drive less. Two years later, people are evidently making those choices in large numbers. But it’s not because of Mr. Gore, or Sheryl Crow, or Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s because of rising gas prices.
