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!

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!

I got no dog in this hunt, because basically I am one of many who really does not care if the globe warms up, because it has done that in its history many times. It also cools down which is more scary to me than it warmnig. The thought of an ice sheet a couple miles thick in the Mid West is more catastrophic to me than the opposite.

But wasn't it old Al who claimed he created the internet? Those words or something very similiar passed his lips a few years ago.

If he is so concerned, he sure doesn't show it much on the personal behavior level. I would not want to pay his power bills on that castle he owns.

Seems to me that if the anti global warming cap and trade deal used on a weak economy would insure it never recovered. Something still stinks in Denmark about this whole deal to me. Just an intuition, mind you, but it has served me well in my life to date.

But again, I am no scientist, nor do I play one online.
