This is a multiple choice question and there are only 2 possible answers.

Al Gore is one of the following....

A) An ExtraOrdinary Hippocrit: He preaches about how we humans are the main cause of global warming through are over consumption of energy or CO2. Then he single handidly produces an enormous amount of CO2 and energy through his use of a private jet and his inability to live in anything but a mansion.....just to name a few....he produces more energy than some entire col-de-sacs do.....

B) An ExtraOrdinary Liar: He may very well not believe in what he preaches about man made global warming. This would make sense because of the vast amount of energy his family and himself produce. But, if this were true...this would make him a monumental liar....a person who is only in it for wealth and fame.....

Which one is it? It has to be one or the other....any logical person would not have another option.......thanks....

Nobody loves Al.

not to rub it in, but you used "produce" where you mean "consume"

lockbox

for those who need a decoder of the first paragraph:

are=our

consumption applies to energy, while production would apply to CO2

hippocrit= a large amphibious rodent that feeds on hamburgers and fruit rollups, not to be confused w/ a human hypocrite

col-de-sacs= a very chilly scrotum, not to be confused with a french term used for certain neighborhoods known as a cul-de-sac

now for a response:

I think you're taking him and his message much too literally. He teaches, not preaches, and if you asked I don't think he would ever claim to be highly eco-friendly with his lifestyle. Yes, he lives in a big house, travels in SUV's and jets, etc. etc. In all the interviews/documentaries I have seen Gore appears to be a very intelligent and humble person, who as mentioned attempts to bring about awareness through teaching, not preaching. Whether or not you believe in man made global warming isn't even the issue. He won his nobel prize because of his dedication to the environment, not becuase he himself lives in a yurt, grows his own food, and produces zero waste/emissions. Many of us who believe in what he is lecturing drive vehicles and fly in planes too. Some donate money, plant trees, volunteer time, or whatever to help offset our contribution to pollution. Others are able to live the ideal with less involvement in mainstream society.

Nice thread though, really. You could work for Fox News with this type of one-sided garbage and horrible grammar.

sigh.

so in order to spread his message/perform his lecture he should swim from continent to continent, and once there refuse the local consulate's bullet proof SUV's, insisting on a bullet proof toyota prius?

you're cliches are wonderful, but if you bother to look a little past what he travels and lives in, you'd see that his impact regarding the environment is a positive one.

Everybody does what they can, how and when they can.

Your apparent approach of "if you can't do it 100% then don't do it at all" is exactly why its so fucking difficult to get any positive change accomplished in this country

So do you REALLY think that his personal carbon usage isn't offset by the fact that he has used his power to champion environmentalism for decades at the highest levels of the US government [not to mention across the world]?

It's okay to do evil as long as you offset it with good.

Al Gore "champions" environmentalism for his own economic gain.

This would be 100% great work if indeed he was simply making money off of promoting and supporting worthy environmental causes and efforts through his myriad of companies, however, the thing that makes Al Gore one of the biggest scumbags in our history is that he uses his power and influence to effectively and intentionally exaggerate and fabricate "global warming" claims to create unfounded fear, in order to accelerate investment in his companies.

He has, in essence, created a phony market in all things which he claims to be necessary to stop global warming, when in fact there is no such thing.

He's a snake oil salesman for the 21st century, selling cures to people for a disease they don't have.

Despicable.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^I remember a time when cigarette companies said that the lung cancer risks associated with cigarette smoke was mere fabrication too. GG Marlboro Man!

How much of global warming can be attributed to human behavior? How do you know that the earth doesn't naturally go through heating and cooling phases despite what human behavior occurs?

How much of the global denying "scientists" budgets are comprised of grants and contributions from polluters like Exxon-Mobil? Its almost exactly the same tactics the cigarette companies used when fighting claims that smoking caused cancer - muddle the issue, then claim there are 2 sides the argument, and perhaps people will just argue about it forever and nothing will ever change.

Are you implying that there is no financial reward in perpetuating the global warming myth?

Not a myth - the world is warming. In fact this is where I find things hilarious. At first the world wasn't warming according to critics. Then, the jury was out on global warming. Now, the world is warming but its not human cause. Bleh - all BS man.
As for financial reward - absolutely there is money to be made from technology to combat global warming. But there is more reward for energy companies to keep the status quo than to change. This is why they are actively financing global warming deniers.

PLuv, do you tell your kids not to use swear words?

Do you swear?

Hypocrite.
