Proposed Title: Al Gore's Whores: Fanatical Recycling and the Unrelenting Green Machine Concept: A chastisement of the Alfred Nobel Foundation for recognizing Gore, a comparison of environmentalism to Islamo-Fascism and a declaration that no one really knows what those numbered recycling triangles actually mean. Hitchens also plans to be critical of his wife for making him take out and exhaustively sort their household refuse.
