Al Gore — great, white compulsive CO2 opportunist — can’t stop bloviating on global warming. If we could just stick Gore’s own carbon footprint in his super-sized mouth, we might save an endangered iceberg or two. National Post reports:
On Thursday . . . Al Gore delivered a major address calling on his country to abandon all fossil fuels within 10 years. By 2018, U. S. electricity and fuel should come entirely from “renewable energy and truly clean, carbon-free sources,” he said. Tickets to the event encouraged attendees to “please use public transit, bicycling or other climate-friendly means” to reach the lecture hall.
So how did Mr. Gore and his retinue arrive? In two Lincoln Town Cars and a full-sized SUV that sat idling with the air conditioners blasting while the Gore party was inside. . .
Remember, too, [that Gore] . . . lives in a Tennessee mansion that produces a carbon footprint 20 times that of the average American home. . .

Al Gore is a tremendous hypocrite, yet where is outrage? Why does no one call him on his own environmental waste?
I’d never envisioned him using vehicles that burn fossil fuels…
…only getting his picture taken helping the poor in OTHER nations.
Claiming human behavior can seriously affect the climate on earth is modern man’s flat-earth theory. We are not going to destroy the planet with fossil fuels any more than medieval sailors were dropping off the edge of the earth — when they disappeared from view beyond the horizon. It’s as stupid as that.
IF our “carbon footprint” is melting icebergs — Al Gore’s hot air is 50% responsible.
