Amen Brother!
The rich create more and more impediments to the middle class lifestyle and then go into politics to really screw us over.
And the sheep believe.

How stupid are you?
Shoot the messenger, eh?
I guess what you're saying above - which is less of a question and more of a wanky tirade - is that what we're doing to the planet is A - Okay.
It's not. Ask the thousands of scientists who are studying the effects of gas guzzling, energy hogging Americans and Australians and Europeans.
An Inconvenient Truth is precisely that. It's inconvenient to consider how we are going to have to change our way of being on the planet if we want any kind of future.
Have you looked at the things that Al Gore is investing his money in? I doubt it. You just want an excuse to continue with your obverconsumptive lifestyle. I feel a vast amount of compassion for you and will meditate for you so that maybe one day you'll wake to realise that what you are thinking is WRONG. For yourself and your fellow creatures upon this Planet
I challenge you to follow the link below. See if what you're lifestyle is like has anything to do with Al Gore and his mansion.
Love and Light,
Jarrah

Al Gore's personal life is not important. If you think it is, you're not thinking seriously.
Al Gore has nothing at all to do with the science behind global warming. He is in no way responsible for any of the solid data about global warming. He is not singlehandedly causing global warming. He's just an actor.
And his message is backed by 99+% of all scientists. They may disagree on some of the details, but not on the basic message. Global warming is real, it's not natural, it's caused by us. And it is a serious threat to our country.
Here's some solid information about the basic scientific agreement on global warming and just a little of the data underlying it.

Not from some environmental extremists, but from the most respected scientific organizations in the world. Practically every scientific organization publicly supports the reality of global warming.
Talking about Al Gore's personal life in the face of the threat is silly. The people quoted below are hardly fans of Al Gore, but they don't make that mistake. They don't get their information from "An Inconvenient Truth", they get it from the best scientists in the world. None of these people are fools, or environmental crazies. You may not respect them all, but surely you respect some.
"The science of global warming is clear. We know enough to act now. We must act now."
James Rogers, CEO of Charlotte-based Duke Energy.
"The overwhelming majority of atmospheric scientists around the world and our own National Academy of Sciences are in essential agreement on the facts of global warming and the significant contribution of human activity to that trend."
Russell E. Train, Republican, former environmental official under Presidents Nixon and Ford
"We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear. The global warming debate is over."
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republican, Governor, California
"Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming."
John McCain, Republican, Senator, Arizona
"These technologies will help us become better stewards of the environment - and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change."
President George Bush
These "questions" have nothing at all to do with science. They are simply political statements which properly belong in the politics section.

There's no shortage of stupid people. Look at all the sheep that have bought into Gore's global warming scenario. Look at the willfully ignorant Hollywood airheads that gave his movie an Oscar. Show them real science and they don't want to hear it.

Typical liberal condescending manner, hypocrisy, and blame reversal. They treat non-liberals as less "intelligent" when the reverse is really true, non-libtards are of superior intellect, morals, and common sense. They lead decent, clean, and honorable lives compared to the typically pagan liberal "lifestyles".
And liberals should not be in positions of power, for sure!

Politician in general (and Gore is still one of them) think the public is fairly moronic. Why shouldn't they? They already know that if they word something just the rigt way, we will fall for it hook line and sinker.
Need an example???? How about Iraq and the Weapons of Mass Destruction??? They were never there! It was all a lie. Bush knew it was a lie. You fell for it!

Is this a question? It is easy to pass judgement, but worthwhile to understand. If you feel so compelled to thrust your rhetoric in others' face, then do so with logical, fact-based arguments and not emotional tyrades.
