So? It is because he cares about the environment that he is active in the carbon credit market. I mean...this is completely in line with his general attitude. You cannot call him a hypocrite. If he would sell big trucks he would be a lier, but the carbon credit thing is nothing you can hold against him. It's like blaming an animal rights activist for making money with selling organic food!

Right - he cares so much about the environment that he maintains a huge, energy gluttonous mansion and flits about in a private jet belching carbon.

I can most certainly call him a hypocrite, because he is one. He's active in the "carbon credit market" because he makes a ton of money off of it - and it enables him to buy "credits" from himself to pretend he's sincere.

But...yes....it is very convenient to distract from the actual topic by questioning Al Gore's credibility.
But this topic (Climate Change!!) is not about Al Gore. He just happened to be the first person who raised public attention on this matter. And I am thankful for that. I know, conservatives don't like him, because i would prefer staying oblivious and ppolluting the planet!

Actually, the topic is Gore's claim about the storms.
