It has increased the further he has has gotten from government service:

The greatest irony of Gore’s career is that he’s arguably more influential outside of government than when he was nearly atop it. His lecture series on global warming became a blockbuster Hollywood film, then won him a Nobel Prize. Yet he’s criticized by conservatives and lampooned in the television show South Park.

Gore took no post in the Obama administration, though he almost surely would have had one if he’d asked. Yet in many ways, he has more freedom to advance his agenda unencumbered by government obligations.
