For those who excuse AG hypocrisy; Gore has told us that Global warming is a CRISIS and needs to be attacked immediately. To me (and most people) a crisis says that we should not aggravate the situtation in any way even if we can pay it off with carbon offsets. This means that he should be living the lifestyle that he supports. The truth about carbon offsets; a tree planted now will not become an efficient filter of CO2 for about ten years of growth. Another sad reality if the tree already exists (and it does) then what have we gained? Whether we put it in a forest, park, or government complex it was still doing what it was going to do.

If everyone can afford it they should - wait, there is a company starting where everyone will be able to fly in a private jet for the same price as flying on a conventional aircraft! so, yes.

I do find that a little hypocritical too. All these politicians and activists want to preach to us about saving the planet, but then they go and fly in their private jets and drive their expensive cars that get like 14 miles to the gallon. They should lead by example too not just word of mouth.

Gore doesn't own a private jet....he flies commercial.

harold, your question is moot and insignificant, the government grants you talk of are reserved for bailouts of companies like chrysler, and defense contractors. kinda like rich mans welfare.

Not if they care about environmental protection, they shouldn't.
