You're just jealous that you didn't come up with this scam. He convinced a bunch of geniuses to buy carbon credits from him and then used the money to remodel his already extravagant home so that even more people would buy his BS and buy more carbon credits. If only he'd been this smart in 2000, eh?

Al Gore's thing is to raise awareness about global warming. He wants people to reduce carbon emissions to reduce the threat of global warming. Reducing carbon emissions is painful and unpopular. Instead of talking about the message that Al Gore is delivering, and the best way to fight global warming, it's easier and more fun to mock Al Gore and talk about how he isn't a good role model for carbon reduction.

Or I could just say that I think Al Gore is a has been politician who'll do or say anything to say in the news. Global warming or not, I don't put much stock in Gore.

That's not an "or" to what glatt posted; that's a "for instance" to what he posted.
