Former Vice President Al Gore’s criticism of President Obama on climate change and the administration’s failure to install solar panels as promised on the roof of the White House are shining a light on growing disillusionment with the president among environmental activists.

While conservatives have expressed relief that Mr. Obama’s push for a carbon tax has stalled, green activists are showing increasing frustration with what they view as Mr. Obama’s timidity on the greenhouse-gas issue and other environmental concerns.
