Environmental expert decries 'hypocrisy' of Gore, greens

A climate change expert says Al Gore and other proponents of catastrophic manmade global warming are not only pushing flawed science, but also demonstrating hypocrisy while pushing their cause against what they consider a dire threat.

Former Vice President Al Gore recently announced a series of worldwide concerts to focus on the perceived threat of global warming. The "Save Our Selves" campaign will feature events in seven cities on July 7 and musicians such as Snoop Dogg, Bon Jovi, Kelly Clarkson, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.

Dennis Avery, an expert on environmental issues at the Hudson Institute, says he doubts Gore and the environmentally conscious singers will forego taking a private jet to the concerts. "I think the worst hypocrisy is the guilt trip that the green movement has offered to all of us," he says. "And people are enthusiastic about being Al Gore's side, if they're non-scientists, to prove that they're socially responsible people [or] to prove that they're 'good' people. And I think it's nonsense."

Avery says he cannot agree with the explanation that the warming prior to 1940 was caused by human-emitted carbon dioxide (CO2), because 80 percent of the CO2 was emitted after that. "So if we take away 0.5 degrees of the warming from before 1940 and give human-emitted CO2 half of the net warming since 1940, that comes to 0.15 degrees ... over a 150 years," he says -- noting that occurred during a period "when the laws of physics say each additional unit of CO2 will have less forcing power than the one before it."

Avery is co-author of the book Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1,500 Years. Avery claims over the last 20 years, he and co-author Dr. Fred Singer have documented globally from dozens of different proxies a "natural solar-driven moderate" 1,500-year climate cycle. He says he is "greatly despaired," however, that no one is telling the public about it.

Answer 7

I'm living life and not letting leftist hypocrite morons like Al Gore make me feel guilty when he lives in a 10,000 sq foot mansion using 10 times the amount of electricity as the average American. Liberals are nothing but hypocrites.

Answer 8

Yes, I have replaces every light bulb with the low energy types, insulated walls and loft around my house,double glazing fitted. I am sat in my nice warm house and my energy bills have fallen by 35%. I also powersave (computer settings) the computer by turning the monitor off after 10mins if not used. Every little helps!

Answer 9

I'm doing the same thing the Martians are doing. They have a global warming problem there too.

Answer 10

I will get all worked up about global warming, and try to recycle and not waste electricity for a few days. It always fades away, and I go back to being wasteful and hoggish. I know it is a big deal, but it is just too hard to break old habits. I think recycling, electricity use and gas use should be restricted by the government.

Answer 11

Yes I am recycling beer cans, eating organic nuts, fruits and vegetables with organic milk and yogurt. Also I am using paper bags, and ridding my bike instead driving my sport car.
