I am all for cutting greenhouse gases and trying to be more environmentally friendly. I try to recycle and turn off a light when I'm not in the room.
But I don't attribute any of what I do to Al Gore. He comes accross as someone who can talk the talk, but not walk the walk. He probably pollutes ten times what my family would in a year. From riding in private jets to cruising the town in limos to heating his 10,000 sq ft house, Al gore needs to do what he preaches. Sure he buys into companies that make green power, but wouldn't it make more sense to live sensibly and contribute to green companies than to live a life of excess and claim that because I spend a little extra money on green stocks that its okay for me to pollute. And then he tells me to bike to work and live in a straw house.
When Al Gore makes Tipper bike to work, carpools to his speeches and finally builds that straw house of his, I'll take him seriously.
