Al Gore III's future looks worse than Al Gore's predictions for our doomed, warming planet.
From a People EXCLUSIVE:
Al Gore's son was charged with felony drug-possession charges and lesser offenses related to his July 4 speeding stop, authorities said Friday. And a law enforcement source tells PEOPLE that Gore had 140 Vicodin pills and "dozens" of other prescription drugs.
If convicted on all charges, Albert Gore III faces up to three years and eight months in prison. But state law makes him eligible for a drug diversion program instead of incarceration, according to the Orange County District Attorney's Office.
His arraignment is set for Aug. 1 in Laguna Niguel, Calif.
Gore, 24, was pulled over south of Los Angeles in a blue Toyota Prius around 2:15 a.m. July 4 for allegedly driving more than 100 mph.
Police previously said officers, who had searched the car because they detected the smell of marijuana, found prescription drugs including Xanax, Valium, Soma, Vicodin and Adderall, as well as a small amount of marijuana. No prescriptions were present, police said.
The amount of medication wasn't revealed at the time, but the source tells PEOPLE that Gore was carrying 140 pills of Vicodin alone, along with "dozens" of the other medications.
...In all, he was charged with two felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription and possession of marijuana, and a speeding infraction, the DA says.
Gore III is really messed up.
This is serious stuff, hundreds of pills.
I doubt that a drug diversion program is the answer to his problems. I don't know that incarceration would be a solution either.
Gore III's past still bothers me. He almost died in an accident when he was a child. He got a second chance at life and now he's squandering it.
He's been so blessed, yet he's choosing to reject all his good fortune to go down a path of self-destruction.
Poor Al Gore. The earth is melting and his son is imploding.
Although I don't buy into Gore's global warming theories and scare tactics, when it comes to his family issues, I sincerely hope that his son manages to pull himself together and successfully rehabilitate. It's certain to be a challenge.
Gore has a real and immediate crisis on his hands and it has nothing to do with glaciers or ice caps or polar bears.
An Oscar and concerts and adoration from Greenies won't fix it.

He's very lucky to have killed nothing with that supersonic Prius, aside from his family's pride.
Gore III was busted right near my neighborhood. The media focused on how fast his Prius was going. I focused on how fast he was driving himself into the arms of death and the devil!
I keep repeating this but it really bothers me that Gore III got a second chance at life and he's squandering it.
I know he was just a little kid and may not remember much but he knows the story of what happened to him.
He's damn lucky to be alive. He was given a gift and look at what he's doing.
