Al Gore says -- I live a carbon free lifestyle to the maximum extent possible

Did Al Gore forget he's a Carbon-based lifeform?

Well that might not be true I suppose. He might indeed be an alien from the diseased plague planet Zarg the way he goes on about how much he hates Carbon all the time.

Yet he says nothing about the rising CO2 in the air which is terrible for human health.

Not to mention each one of us exhales a butt-load of the stuff every effin day . And those nasty plants use it. To convert it back to that totally useless stuff called oxygen .

He buys carbon credits to "offset" his carbon footprint.

I havent been keeping up on him, but the Gore I remember helped come up with the carbon trading scheme [along with Enron] (meaning he probably makes money from the whole affair), and he makes money off his activism stuff. So with his activism loot and carbon scheme loot he buys carbon credits from his himself?!?

At the same time, world leaders have to travel a lot. You can't expect someone with those responsibilities to end them, in the name of environment. It's far too simplistic, and isn't even what environmentalists have been saying in the first place. Such responsibilities of course have to continue, but yes systems, transport, energy use, etc, can and should be more sustainable. That is the point.

Except Al Gore isn't a world leader anymore. He holds no elected position. Has no ability to negotiate anything. He is a private citizen. Wow, you just basically said that it's okay for a rich guy to use more because he's rich. He doesn't need a huge house. He just wants it. He could easily live in a much smaller house, consume much less energy, AND still do what he does.

So Al Gore could reduce his carbon footprint by jumping out of a window?

Well, it's then time he move into a tiny home or an under 500 sq ft condo/ efficiency!

PT Barnum should be posthumously awarded the Civic Medal of Honor (or whatever it's called). No truer words have ever been uttered... "There's a Sucker born every minute!"

Global Warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetuated on mankind!

Just last week everyone was running around with their hair on fire and waving their arms about Trump walking away from the Paris Climate deal (a Gore special). The MSM was running endless loops screaming from every rooftop about how even the big energy companies like Conoco Phillips and the like were pro Paris Climate accord. Well, DUH; of course they were!! Why wouldn't they be???? Deals like that give them Carte Blanche to raise prices on all their products and keep them artificially inflated!! Their profits have soared by TRILLIONS in recent years because of deals like these!

If people only understood what is really going on, if they'd only wake up. The federal government spins up a tax on agriculture, takes the money and uses it for crap like this and creates laws on emissions. The energy companies take vast quantities of agricultural products (corn, etc) and create methanol as a "green" additive. Then they water down petroleum products such as gasoline with it (and yes, it is being DILUTED) which gives them a higher profit margin right off the bat. But then, they actually "raise" the price of the end product because of all the "hard work" they've done for you and the environment by watering down your fuel with lower octane additives like methanol.

So YOU should be GLAD these companies are bending over backwards to "help" you out, thanks to Al Gore! Shouldn't you??? Oh, and it gets even better. This big "favor" Gore and his cronies are doing for you with your fuel causes your vehicle to have significantly reduced lifespan (can anyone say, "planned obsolescence"?), so the car companies sell more cars. And if that wasn't bad enough, the car companies get in on the action too by adding so much computerized emissions control equipment on your car that only dealer or a select few others can actually "work" on one of these cars.

WIN/WIN...AND WIN! (for everyone BUT you. i.e. for them)

Thanks, AL Gore...you miserable, slithering, HYPOCRITE!

Maximum extent possible while living the high life.
