HypocriticAl Gore

I'm not an environmentalist, though I believe we should reduce waste. In short I'm a firm believer of recycling. I'm also a firm believer of energy independence - not because of carbon footprints, but because I do not believe we should be so dependent on enemies resources.

That said, I also believe in alternative sources of energies because the price of gas is ridiculous, and if it helps keep cleaner air even better.

I walt to work (1 mile) every day under rain or exhausting heat. To save gas. I take the bus whenever possible. My husband will be taking the bus this fall to go to class and to work to save gas. We are in a pinch; financial yes, but a pinch nonetheless and we are willing to make the sacrifices to breathe easier (pun intended).

That is why it pisses me off that after Al Gore scared to death half the population of the world he is not even able to practice what he preaches. Do as I say not as I do...and his supporters seem to follow the same philosophy. But what is worse NO ONE calls him on it; except of course for the right. Where is the left outrage on this hypocrisy?

Al Gore full of Hot Air?

Global Warming, Climate Change, An Inconvenient Truth.

Democrats accuse the Republicans of fearmongering with the war on terror, yet Gore's documentary used fearmongering to get his message across. Ever since it came out, and the book too, some have sided and some have criticized. Of course many skeptics have been discredited for having a personal agenda.

However, via Dean's World, the New York Times just published an article in which scientists themselves find some holes in Gore's message. It is a good and interesting read. And hey, it its in the NYT you cannot accuse it of being a right wing conspiracy, now can you?
