I've seen a lot of people criticizing Al Gore for using lots of energy. Even though he uses green energy sources and solar panels. Also, his jet is set up to be low emissions.
But many of the people who are criticizing him are the same who say global warming isn't caused by humans. So which is it? Is global warming caused by humans and Al Gore is part of the problem? Or is global warming a conspiracy and it doesn't matter if Al Gore uses lots of energy, if he can afford it?

Humans do not cause global warming anymore than we cause global cooling. The earth has cycles. Always has, and always will. We have been on a steady warming cycle since the end of the little ice age.

Global warming may be real however there is no solid evidence to support it is man-made. Mt. St. Helen's is more toxic to the atmoshphere than anything humans have ever put into it. Humans only contribute to 4% of the CO2 emissions on the earth.
Now, with that being said, my problem with Al Gore is that he is using more energy than the average joe, yet he's doing his "penance" by purchasing these carbon offsets. He expects YOU and ME to conserve, but it's ok for him to fly around in private jets which consume more than 5 times the energy as do commercial jets. He can afford to go plant a couple dozen trees to make up for it, so he is above the law.

This whole thing exposes that even Al Gore knows that Global Warming is a hoax. And some liberals still believe Global Warming despite the evidence mounting against them...

No one denies global warming...just whether or not the theory centering on "human causes" is accurate.
Could you provide a source detailing Gore's jet being "set up to be low emissions"?
lol

The earth has gone through many periods of climate change long before humans and autos came into being. It was very warm through periods and very cold at others (Ice Ages). That's just how it is. Has nothing to do with us or politics it's just the natural way of things. 10000 years ago, there were Glaciers all over North America. They melted and it wasn't from greedy Republicans then either but they'll probably be blamed for it someday.

Mr. ranting Gore doesn't do what he expects everyone else to do. If his house is completely green - I doubt - then fine. But apparently he uses more energy w/ polluting emissions than most people do. Bigger house, more toys, more emissions. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion. But if you're going to require everyone else do take dramatic steps to reduce their lifestyles, then you too need to do the same. This is typical of people like Gore and 'Two Americas' Edward's, whose house is a spacious layout with bowling alley, racquetball court and all. They are elitists. What's good for you isn't for me.

they are republicans
they dont even know what global warming is. They criticize him because are jealous, that a democratic candidate is getting positive recognition by the world and Bush on the other hand is basically hated by everyone in the world

Of course it's real. Is a natural occurrence and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. Gore is just blowing his money the way he blew Clinton.

No. It simply means they hate anyone who is not a Republican. Al Gore is in the news , so he is the current target.

I enjoy exposing hypocrites, like Algore and the rest of the leftist egomaniacs. :D
