Al Gore’s Greenwash is stripped away as repeated note of his energy hogging, extravagant lifestyle is taken. Hereās an excerpt from an article on Green Hypocrisy:
While the former veep and nouveau-$100 millionaire jets around the world squawking about the āplanet having a feverā and demanding that we all lower our standard of living, his own personal electricity use is 20 times the national average, including an indoor pool costing $500/month to heat.
While Gore deflected criticism of his inconvenient electric bill during March congressional testimony by saying he purchased āgreenā electricity, the truth is, he didnāt start doing so until 2007.
Is it just me, or does Al Gore strike anyone else as someone who may “talk the talk“, but who is completely unwilling to “walk the walk” – all the while stridently demanding that the rest of us, who have fewer resources the he does, do so in his stead?
I’m not going to discuss Global Warming in this post because it’s secondary to the point of Al Gore’s hypocrisy. Let’s suppose though that Global Warming is terribly real. Let us also, for the sake of this particular discussion, suppose that human actions are the primary cause of Global Warming. Is a grandstanding hypocrite really the icon people should want for the issue? Think about it.
