If Al Gore cares so much for the environment, why does he fly around in a private jet?

Good God, his carbon footprint must be huge! Or does he just prefer to tell other people how to live?

His home in Tennessee is one of the most energy wasters on record too. It certainly sounds hypocritical to me.

Because he is a hypocrite and looney leftists will still love him despite that hypocrisy.

If he flies on a public jet he would be mauled by **** mongers who would attack him just because. So for his own safety he has to fly in a private jet.

He doesn’t really care about this issue. He is a socialist. Socialists are using the environmental movement for political gain. Useful idiots.

Because an energy-efficient method of travel that can suite the needs of a person who has to be in multiple states daily has not been invented yet.

please tell me how is supposed to influence people concerning Global Warming if he can’t travel to and from speeches?

I think his jet is powered by “HOT AIR”….
I think there is a lot of C02 in hot air………..

“If he flies on a public jet he would be mauled by **** mongers who would attack him just because. So for his own safety he has to fly in a private jet.”

I see, so its fair to say that Al Gore goes against his own positions when it suits his current needs? So how about others and THEIR needs? Who the F does Al Gore think he is to believe that his needs are any greater priority over the needs of anyone else?

Unfortunately many people are two-faced, many without even knowing it. Did you know that every Compact Fleurescent Lightbulb contains 5 milligrams of Mercury and without a recycling program we will be poisoning the water supply of millions as these bulbs get crushed in landfills? Even better, did you know the overall environmental footprint of a Toyota Prius is 3.5 times worse than a Hummer H3 during its complete lifecycle due to the heinous nickle-cadmium batteries in the Prius? SO Al Gore can preach but then again if he lived in the woods in a shack who would hear his message. Then again that might be a good thing…

You are exactly right. Have you ever heard of a hypocrite? Environmentalists act as though they care about the environment, but if they really are serious about it, why don’t they refuse to use electricity, live in tents, and walk everywhere?

It would take a really long time walking from place to place

Haven’t you heard, he bought off-sets (what ever they are.) So he can glue the receipts of the off -sets together, and fix the hole in the ozone layer that his flying in his private jet contributes to.
