R... Al Gore has not been surpressed, there are 1400 documented interviews with him about Global Warming... get your facts straight. And he owns the company for C02 carbon offsets, but would not take an oath to it.

Answer 1

Al Gore is a big blow hard hypocrite who's claim to fame is inventor of the internet & man made global warming. The hypocrite spends $1,200 per month on his 10,000 square foot home. The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.

While many are asked to live "green" lifestyles, he goes through hundreds of gallons of fossil fuels with cars, toys, houses, planes, you name it. He doesn't even try to cut down even a little bit........ What a hypocrite!

I think Al Gore's mouth and utility bills are a main cause of green house emissions....

Answer 2

This Global Warming...
Anybody who doesn't know this is a bunch of crap hasn't been paying attention the last 12 years. Nothing, zero, nada Al Gore does surprises me. Of the four, both Clintons (ooops, make that one Clinton and one Rodham) and both Gores, only Tipper apologized for trashing and vandalizing of government property, leaving X-rated messages on voice-mail machines and drawing obscene pictures on office walls their final day at the White House. A real class act... And the sad part about it is there are some out there who thought it funny.

Answer 3

Carbon neutral? HUH? Global Goreming is not man made first of all. All the science shows it. Watch the great global warming swindle on google vid to get an idea. Al Gore is a big crapper. Even though he probably won in 2000, he's a big stinky 10 year old tuna fish sandwhich with green dirty mayo with crusty smelly anchovy paste dried up and calcified on it.

Answer 4

The inconvenient truth is that Gore is not an ultimate hypocrite. He simply doesn't understand what he is talking about and is gaining so much press/pounds out of. He is right, we should all have four mansions and a private jet. The Earth will take care of itself, especially if we all can get carbon free cards (or even if we don't)..

Answer 5

Have you seen his mansion in TN?
Have you seen his eletrical bill to up keep that mansion?

He travels by Jets, Limo, and SUV/s hmmm wonder he use natural gas? I don't think he is willing to give up the "good life" for American. Most of those environmentalist using small facts turned it into a major event. Maybe the Earth climate is returning to proper temperature?

They all claim Global Warming? Why is there still snowstorms/ice storm in the East Coast? Where were the factories during Ice Age?

I heard roaches and cattles produced more Methane more than human?

Answer 6

All of these Hollywood Left-wing liberals are the same. Asking the rest of the world to change, while they live it up to the fullest. All of them are hypocrites in the truest sense of the term. None of them ever back for one moment, the actions they ask the common people to take. They're greatest asset is the ignorance of their constituents. But I still find their inherent hypocrisy to be really very insulting and condescending. I think the difference between god and Al Gore... is that God does not think he is Al Gore.

Answer 7

I think that you should listen carefully to the video one more time. Al Gore when asked if he is ready to change his way of life, replied that the way he lives and the business he has are carbon free and that is what Gore is fighting for, for a carbon free world. Gore had no reason therefore to take an oath to change the way he lives since he has already done it.

Answer 8

He's absolutely a premier hypocrite! Did you catch the part how our government must "reach across the aisle" and "put partisan differences aside", AFTER he refused to show up until after the republicans had read their statements? This guy is a joke. There is a reason he is trying to scare the world, don't know what it is yet but it will come out eventually.

Answer 9

Gore is just a plain old common hypocrite. He claims to have invented the Internet, go figure. lol His hot spot in the world of his so called global warming is probably still frozen over. lol
Al Gore has made a name for himself by touting pseudo-science involving global warming and along the way his “documentary” picked up an Oscar. It has been pointed out in the past that Al Gore pollutes more than the average person he is targeting. Al jets all over the world, he rides in lots and lots of cars all over the place and the Academy Award ceremony that he applauded for being green had limousines lined up to ferry stars all over. After his two appearances in the Kodak Theatre, where he begged everyone to join the fight against global warming, it has been learned that Al Gore’s mansion uses more electricity in a month than most houses use in a year.

A counter to that was released today that points out that Gore has purchased a little over $400 a month in “green” energy. He also drives a hybrid car so, the article points out, we should not be focusing our sights on him:

Rather than attacking one man — Gore — Johnson and his group should be taking a larger view and trying to make a difference to reduce global warming, Krider [Gore spokeswoman] said. Tennessean

Ms. Krider informs us that Gore’s 10,000 square foot home is going to have a larger carbon footprint than the average home. I guess what she means is, rich people live in big houses (called mansions) and they are going to use more than everyone else but they are rich so we should do what they say and not what they do. I have to disagree with this woman and her assertion that we should not be attacking one person but should be looking at the larger picture. We have every right to attack that one person because he is the one who is preaching to everyone.

No one would mention that Al Gore uses more electricity or heating fuel than most people if he had not run around the country giving speeches about global warming. no one would pay attention to him if he had not drawn attention to himself. Now that his film won an award it makes it even more appropriate that we investigate him deeper than most. You see, most Americans are not running around telling others how to live their lives and how to consume goods. Gore is and that means that his own habits are open to scrutiny. The irony is that the people who are out supporting this whole global warming myth are those who use the most resources.

This is typical for the elitist among us. John Edwards discusses his two Americas where the wealthiest live one kind of life and all the rest of us live a lesser existence. What he fails to mention and what probably never occurs to him, is that he lives in that very wealthy America. When he makes the claims he does people are going to become skeptical when he buys a home that is the largest and most expensive in his county. Likewise, people will be skeptical of Gore when he tells us all how to reduce what we use when he uses twenty times as much as the average family.

Do as I say and not as I do is common among the elitists in America. We see it from the Hollywood crowd and we see it from our elected officials who make laws that they are exempted from following. There are few in the so called ruling class who follow their own words. Whether they own stock in companies they portray as evil or employ non-union workers while pandering to unions, they thumb their collective noses every step of the way.

It is time we got rid of them and replaced them with people who want to make America better. As for Gore, we can ignore him. He might not go away but it will be more peaceful. I would recommend to him though, that if he wants to convince people he is serious he should sell his mansion and buy a small place that is very energy efficient. Maybe Dicaprio can move in with him and shut down his mansion as well.

Answer 10

There's nothing but talk about fixing the enviroment and carbon trading .Why buy carbon credits as it does not make sense why not instead place a small levy to build air filtering machines .good luck

Answer 11

All Gore should be President. He doesn't have to "take and oath" he is doing all he can; which is much more than bush ever thought about doing besides suppressing scientist who are trying to publish articles on global warming.
