If Al Gore is a hypocrite, then that is his business (at least he is creating activists at the grass roots level), but calling out hypocrites does not solve the problems of our decaying natural environment. Let us know what you are doing to help the problem.
Sometimes people with money actually do good deeds. Nobody is perfect however, not as perfect as you are. Let's see your environmental resume...
This one is the best, at least you just hate him for no particular reason.
That is a wonderful attitude!
With all due respect, I have a hard time taking you seriously outside of the
post a sexy picture of yourself thread. There is no LEFT or RIGHT. I am not a Leftist, and I want clean water and air. "Go green...just in case?" That is just plain silly. Everybody knows that organic is better than chemical. We do not need any new science on the issue. Green is better, and it always has been.

Does it make you all feel better about the world to complain about Al Gore? I mean, look in the mirror for crying out loud.
We all live in the environment, so we are all responsible for keeping it clean.
If people are shitting in the public pool, and Al Gore comes along and says, "Hey guys, there is shit in the pool. This ain't good," and then makes a movie about the shitting in the pool and does not get all of the facts strait...maybe he even left the biggest turd....I do not care. At least he called attention to it on a massive scale.
As long as it gets people noticing that their is shit in the pool, then it is a good thing.
Global warming is real. The earth sometimes gets colder, and sometimes gets hotter. Currently, it is getting warmer. That is the trend. If you do not believe that, I do not know why.
The real argument is whether it is being caused by humans, and you know what? It does not matter. The point is that we live like greedy animals on fossil fuel when we have the money and the resources, and the technology to live on sustainable resources. I do not care if Al Gore is the biggest liar in the world. He brings awareness. The point is this:
You are harming the planet, yourself, and your neighbors if you:
- Eat meat.
- Eat dairy.
- use incandescent light bulbs.
- Run gas powered equipment or vehicles.
- Farm inorganically.
- I could make a longer list, but I will save electricity for the moment.
- Are not actively engaged in pushing for a switch from wood pulp paper to hemp paper.
- The list goes on...
I just cannot understand why anybody on this board would want to attack somebody who, if not perfect, has done a lot to raise global awareness...especially those who are growers and understand the huge environmental catastrophe of genetically modified food, livestock, and inorganic/pesticide driven agriculture.
If Al Gore takes a private jet, or has a ten million dollars, who cares, that is his cross to carry...if he does not have all of his facts straight, bully for him. Lots of people are millionaires and do nothing at all. He could have just moved to Florida and opened up a night club. But no, he is spreading awareness, and I will allow him a few shortcomings. What are any of you doing for the planet?
