...climate change policy, the center announced Monday. The fellowship program was founded along with the Shorenstein Center in 1986. During their time at the center, fellows complete research projects and spend time interacting with Kennedy School students and faculty. After writing a cover story for Time Magazine about Al Gore and his work on climate change, Eric A. Pooley began working on a book about the politics of climate policy.

That's not exactly the fault of the We Campaign, but it does point to the real challenge of what Gore and his allies have set out to do. Slowing carbon emissions, let alone reaching Gore's goal of 100% carbon-free electricity in a decade, will require sweeping changes in governmental policy - the kind of changes that can't be achieved with a narrow majority of Democrats.
