Al Gore is garnering praises for making his home Global Warming friendlier. Note, not "friendly" but friendlier. So now, instead of using 10 times the energy that ma and Pa America use (as evil and wasteful as THEY are), he is only using about 7 times the energy. And this while the polar bears die of starvation, drown and otherwise go extinct, and he jets to all corners of the earth to pick up faux awards for his "feelings".
And is this going to make Al Gore more Eco-friendly? Hardly. His energy foot print is not going down, and indeed, going up! But he goes to sleep at night with the sweet dreams of carbon offsets (which he owns a piece of the action of) dancing in his head.
And people wonder why he is mocked and ridiculed? If the world was ending because I was going to push a switch, you can be damn sure I would not push that switch! But Al Gore is going to push that switch with one finger, while fanning the planet with the other nine (his offsets). And think "What a good boy am I".
Unfortunately, if Al Gore is not lying to us (open for debate), and the issue of Global Warming is real and man made (again open for debate), then we all should reduce our pollution and not just transfer it from the have nots to the haves. For, as we have been told, it is cumulative, and any additional output of pollution is harmful, and who does it matters not.
With his latest escapades, that are winning him praise and accolades from the brain dead media, Al Gore is trying to pretend that once the gun is fired, and the bullet has left the barrel, he can now suck it back in by saying "Do over".
That is nice for a game in a school yard, but life does not work that way. At least not real life. The life that Al Gore and his disciples are leading is another matter. For reality, and truth, have little to do with their life.
