Does anyone really believe that Al Gore is sincere?

Question

Does a man living in an 8000 square foot house with a utility bill of 1000 dollars a month cares about 'energy' and 'global warming'?

Answer 1

does he flip flop?

Answer 2

Although, I can't say that the facts that you state are 100% true, it is a fact that Al Gore's house is too large and that he uses large amounts of energy. I don't condemn the man for taking a stand...more power to him, but i question his motives just as I question any politician. Unfortunately, I feel as though the motives for the movie were attention and money for a possibly run at the presidency...this may be false, but I am not stating it as fact.
There are hypocrits all around us, I am sure every person does something that they say is wrong and speak out against at some point in their life. I myself am guilty of it. I don't agree with Mr. Gore's so called carbon offsets, it is just political rhetoric which makes little to no difference at all. When I hear and read things like this, it really makes me wonder what Mr. Gore's agenda really is.

Answer 3

In the words of John Lennon: Just Gimme some truth! I'm sick of hearing about global warming! There is no such thing as global warming and politicians are embarrassing themselves by saying so. In an "Inconvenient Truth" Gore explains that Katrina was caused because of a buildup of pollution? So what caused the hurricane season back in 1933? Surely not SUV's. What about the hurricane season back in 1887?? Did pollution cause global warming back then? Actually in 1887, the world was experiencing a warming period. However the warming period was ending a cooling period which was a record cooling period that lasted for one thousand years. What was the temperature like 4 thousand years ago? 4 degrees warmer than we are now. So do I believe this warming period is called global warming? No. I do however believe that we are warming back up, and eventually we will see another period of global cooling, due to the drainage of freshwater from glaciers into the ocean.

To say that humans are the cause of this myth called global warming is similar to saying the Neanderthals caused the glaciers to melt 12,000 years ago.

Answer 4

Al Gore is sincere about one thing. If he doesn't have a platform he will create one. Hes a guy that knows his time is over and that history will not remember his name. Hes doing everything he can to etch his name in the history books. Martin Luther King will be remembered as the Civil Rights leader. Ronald Reagan will be remembered as the president that ended the Cold War. Al Gore wants to be remembered for saving the planet. The only problem is if history does remember him for leading the crusade against GW, it will remember him long enough to see that he was completely wrong.

Answer 5

I believe this falls into the "he's a politician" category, therefore, you can't believe a word he says in any forum on any topic at any time, regardless of political affiliation. However, this doesn't make him unique or special, just more vulnerable to public scrutiny.
Do I believe he genuinely cares about the environment? Sure. It's not unresonable to assume he's basically interested and concerned about the topic. I might question his informational resources, his zealotry and the hypocrisy of your aforementioned utility bill, but I don't think his motives are 100% political.

Answer 6

What has AlGores lifestyle to do with trying to help the Environment
if he has positive effects is all that matters
are you suggesting he must give all his money away to become believeble
would you ???

Do your countries priests stick to the rules they impose on others ????

A cause a philosiphy for politics is one thing ,
what you do at home is another

I tell kids not to smoke . drink or take drugs
and be moral. If i do any of those things does that mean that i must stop telling kids not to???

Al Gore could be a gay killerclown for all i care ,if the Environment wins its OK in my book.

And i am sure he can achieve much more than you ,being rich and famous and wel connected.
he would not achieve very much if he lived in a mud hut and only used a bicycle

Answer 7

Sincere or not, he's bringing awareness of this issue and telling everyone that we should start doing something about this issue. Gore is not a true environmental activist, so of course he's not going to give up his money and donate it to stopping global warming. But he does show that he has somewhat of a concern for this issue though. He's done more contribution for the people than hurting them.

Answer 8

Follow the money? Al Gore is not dumb. He has hit the jackpot with this man made global warming scam and he and his cronies are going to get very, very, very wealthy and get lots of global power by capitalizing on things are going to happen no matter what we do.

Answer 9

Don't believe he is sincere at all and yes I researched on his house versus Bush. For anyone to believe this man who claims he invented the internet and by his own standard of living shows no respect for the enviroment at all.....sincereity...he doesn't know what the word means.

Hey Al, why don't you get a real job ( preferrably one w/o hot air).

Answer 10

Yes I believe he is sincere, and he is also the first one to recognize that he is adding to the pollution by his own actions. And his house isn't even the biggest source of his pollution. It is all of his airplane travel that is a much more significant contributor to global warming. But Al Gore does try to do things to offset his own contributions to global warming.

Answer 11

Possibly, If he really didnt' care at all he wouldn't have made the movie. He might not be the best inspiration (he's not mine on this topic) but he does have a good point about a few things. Forget about Al Gore you must do what you think is right. Just get educated about it first.

Are you sure those are his heating costs and the actual size of his house?
