AUSTIN, TEXAS -- The biggest ovation during Al Gore’s SXSW Interactive speech here this morning, was when he pointed out that beloved investor Warren Buffett recently dumped his position in Exxon Mobil.

Gore’s point is that Buffett is indeed a shrewd investor and implied he sold his Exxon Mobil shares because he sees a turning point on carbon fuels.

Gore apologized for picking on Exxon Mobil, then proceeded to pick on them again, quoting its CEO as making the statement: “What good is it to save the planet if humanity suffers?”

“If any of you know where to start with that answer,” Gore asked the audience, “please let me know.”
