Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......

Eric, Haut is a closet Republican, he just likes to spread chaos and confusion where ever he can.

Thats why he is one of the "good guys" He is smart enough to know that the "LIBS" are wrong but still likes to stir the pot.
Don't know what he gets out of it?
But if he is having fun then so be it.
How ever his remarks make you think!

Just another point of view.

No I don't agree with him and other's name calling our "sitting"
President, (might as well put a rag on their heads) but I swore an oath to defend their rights to do so!

So be it! :'(

Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......

LOL Haut, you are a one of a kind, and sad to say.... My kind.

Does this mean you're a closet Democrat?

I want to get back to something that JB got some heat above for and that Jason also brought up again.

Last time I looked making a bundle of cash in the US is a good thing. Spending it is even better, it creates jobs etc. Soooo, if you're Al Gore, and you have a need to get your face and name in front of a bunch of people for whatever reason, then it should be OK to fly all over the place and have Peterbilt limos take you where jets don't go . . . Of course there is one problem, the method you have chosen to get your name in the papers is to preach about Global Warming. The inconsistency being the fuel use.

Back to the rich part . . . OK, so we have a rich guy. He uses a bunch of fuel doin' his deal, which creates tons (literally) of Carbon. Why is it not OK for that same guy, Al the Crusader, to pay for somebody else to get a Hybrid to offset one gallon here and one gallon there? He can buy the next guy a windmill generator for his farm, another gallon here, a few btu's there. The next guy he could buy an ETEC to repower his Force powered Bayliner . . . OK, that's a lost cause, but I think you get my point. This, in a rather messy nutshell, is Carbon Credit Trading.

Now last time I tried to defend JB (and Al) in this thread I said it made me feel dirty (just a little reminder). However, this thread is about Al being a hypocrite. I think no matter how misguided, egotistical, arrogant and stupid the guy may be; at least he is not a hypocrite if he buys down his excesses with more cash. Again, the cash creates jobs and the "credits" gets him out of the hypocrite label. Seems actually OK to me . . .

I think I'll end this with my Al sig. Nobody said that I can't be a hypocrite, right?

Oh no, QC has caved. He's lost focus. He's fallen victim to the spell of Albert the Great! What are we to do now?

Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......

It took a bit of research, but I think I found out where Algor buys his Carbon Offsets..... It’s from himself!

So far, so good. So, where does Gore buy his ‘carbon offsets’? According to The Tennessean newspaper’s report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management. a company he co-founded and serves as chairman:
Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe…
As co-founder and chairman of the firm Gore presumably draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he “buys” his “carbon offsets” from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn’t buy “carbon offsets” through Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks.

....and the truth falls on dead ears. If there was ever any more incontrovertible evidence that Algore is a self serving megalomaniac, this is it. The moderates are afraid and the Leftist want to deny and prevaricate.

Dunaruna thinks that the denial of this issue is because Exxon wants to make money. How about those that will profit when the rank in file bow down before the alter of Mother Earth?

Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......

This is the part that really scares me, and it is exactly what the followers of Bother Al Gore want to see....

In the Late Middle Ages sumptuary laws were instated as a way for the nobility to cap the conspicuous consumption of the up-and-coming bourgeoisie of medieval cities. … The danger is that the use of “carbon offsets” will create two things that are morally monstrous: a de-facto sumptuary law and the impoverishments of the poor and powerless of this planet. The creation of an aristocratic elite that differentiates itself from the hoi polloi by its ability to buy “carbon offsets” while the rest of the planet is forced by environmental laws into a smaller and smaller carbon straightjacket is not so far fetched.

And this is something new Boom? But it is a shame.

Al Gore buys "Carbon Credits" from himself.

What a sham. What a snake oil salesman. To think some of you believe this or at least want to defend it is unbelievable.

Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......

Not only that he said there really was Global Warming when the right knew all along it did not exist. So there, what do you mean! Global Warming does exist? The right was wrong. OHHHHH, Nooo.

And Gore was one of the people we can blame for making Global Warming be identified and now being addressed. DARN lucky guess.

Re: Poor Al Gore, the hypocrite......

That Southpark episode that bags on Gore aired again last night. Its called Manbearpig, if anyone ever wants to see it and is looking for it. It pegs him and his quest perfectly. I have seen it like six times and I cry from laughing too hard every time. The only difference is instead of Global Warming, he is trying to get everyone to beleive there is a creature called Manbearpig, which he says is "Half man, half bear, half pig". The episode nails his logic perfectly. A must see, even if you are not a Southpark fan, but have disdain for the Gore....
