EVERYONE IS RIGHTFULLY ALL OVER AL GORE FOR BEING A HYPOCRITE. (More HERE; complete round up HERE. UPDATE: PHOTOS HERE.)
But his hypocrisy does more than expose his personal phoniness; it exposes Leftism and its "ecological evangelicalism" as the dirty, lying, thieving, selfish, bossy, covetous ideology it truly is.
Gore would pass laws and raise taxes to reduce CO2 output, but they'd be easily circumvented by rich folks like himself. Rich people could just purchase what the Leftist doublespeakers call "carbon offsets" - which are nothing more than modern versions of "indulgences."
While working folks pay HIGHER GAS TAXES, and higher taxes on everything that uses energy - AND THAT'S EVERYTHING! - Gore and his rich Leftist comrades, the limousine liberals and the gullible "Gulfstream do-gooders" can just go on living LARGE and leaving a large "carbon footprint" as long as they send some money to a Leftist approved "green cause."
(They do this as if the people in Africa and China and South America would be better off without the industrial development which lifted the people of the West out of abject poverty and lengthened our years and improved the quality of our lives. What the Third World needs are dozens of nuke power plants to generate energy for factories which can make them decent clothing, food and shelter. They do not need "green credits.")
The elitists of the Left CLAIM that their regimen of higher taxes and freedom restricting rules & regulations are "for the common good" - or BETTER YET: to "save life on earth!"
That is pure BS. Their taxes and regulations are merely the expression of intrinsically bossy people who think they know better, and want you to live life according to RULES THEY THEMSELVES NEVER OBEY.
Like Leonid Brezhnev in the old USSR, Gore is a Leftist who would live the high life, as he made everyone else suffer. FOR OUR OWN GOOD.

The hypocrisy is astounding but not surprising.
