Usually Mr. Gore visits places where he gives these speeches (as well as his no less entertaining presentations on climate change and how save the environment by limiting consumption) by means of his private jet.

So, not impressed. Next!

If any change is going to be made it's going to come through revolution (a la France) or through someone in the top 1% changing things from the top down (a la slavery). The fact that he gets around on a private jet is neither here nor there - we can live with hypocrisy. What we cannot live with is inaction.

I don't know who are "we" that you are speaking about, but I absolutely can't live with hypocrisy. And large-scale social changes are inevitable anyway -- universal basic income is economically impossible, and transition to post-job economy is nearby.
