A friend of mine coined the phrase "Gore's Church of Pollution Absolution." I think it's very apt and we should spread it around. Wish Rush could get hold of it.

Algore pays himself to pollute! P.T Barnum has found his match in someone who plays people for fools.

He buys them for himself... literally from a company he owns. There are not many people that can buy their own carbon offsets.

The same Occidental Petroleum that Gore Senior sat on the board of directors and now Al Jr sits on, that Armand Hammer helped finance Stalin, and the soviet Union during the cold war and the same occidental Petroleum that owned Love Canal.

See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Canal
In 1942, Hooker Chemical and Plastics Corporation (a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum) expanded use of the site, and, by 1947, acquired the land for its own private use. In the subsequent five year period, the company buried about 22,000 tons of toxic waste in the area.[1] Once the site had been filled to capacity in 1952, Hooker closed the site to further disposal, back-filled the canal and covered it over with 4 feet of impermeable clay.

Algore is consumimg mostly fossil fuels. And his utility is federally subsidized through the TVA. His plan is not set up where he pays more for excess electricity consumption! Most people don't care about his utility consumption habits but for the fact he keeps lecturing others to less energy. Yep, Gore is a model for environmental frugality. He should keep up his shining Green example.

Thank GOD for the United States Supreme Court. The U S really dodged a major bullet in Dec 2000. Can you folks imagine what our country would be like under this fat lunatic. It's way beyond me how this phony-baloney has avoided the men with the butterfly nets this long.

I suspect that somewhere under all the carbon credit hoopla is a buried tax credit or benefit.

BINGO!

Mo....from all I have heard...and read...this whole thing is a SCAM.

Not only is he making money and an OSCAR, fgs, over a bogus "global warming" myth...but, now he has devised a scheme to make money on "carbon offsets".

I heard someone on the radio explain this "carbon credits" thing like someone on a diet who eats a whole pizza...but, then drinks DIET coke to OFFSET the calories.

WELL...drinking a diet drink does NOT mean the calories you just ate disappear!!!

Gore is trying to make all believe that he can use as much as he wants....so long as he BUYS OFFSETS!!

I want to know what an "offset or credit" looks like...do I need a wallet or a bank vault, or a backyard, or an acre of land to put this on!!!

WTH is it???


AND...everytime I see a PSA on TV with little kids giving us tears and puppy dog eyes....telling us to "fights global warming"...I just wanna throw up!
