Al Gore and John Edwards miss the point entirely!

Everyone has heard of carbon credits. How about carbon debits? One of my friends posted this url at one of my threads. It's a hoot. While it does not mention Gore and Edwards, it does make fun of their ilk. http://www.carboncreditkillers.com/

Hypocrites that is what they are blatant hypocrisy. Both of them say that we should lessen the carbon impact on the earth, but both of them refuse to do the measures that they preach. They rail against SUV's and other gas guzzeling vehicles, but both of them drive limo's that get horrible gas milage. Both of them fly around in airplanes. Last time I checked airplanes are very wasteful with fuel. If they really want to practice what they preach they should ride around in trains preferably electric. They should putt-putt around in an electric car. Their houses should be small, and have solar panels on them. Come on people if you two want us to lessen the carbon impact on the world, why don't you show us the way? Isn't that true leadership?

I agree it is not about conserving resources it is about controling the energy. How long is it going to be before we have to limit our energy use to reduce our carbon footprint. I can see it now youwill get 5 gallons of Gas per week unless you buy some carbon credits from Al Gore's Company then you can pollute all you want. Al Gore will have this country covered in and not have enough room to grow the corn to make ethonal. It seem to me that 100 to 150 years ago they had similar scams going on with people who claimed they could make it rain. They would come into a community and get people to pay for them to make rain or to seed the clouds. Usually they received a new set of clothing made up of mostly feathers and undergarments of Tar. How is that different than what Al Gore is selling. I will make the planet cooler if you will give me some money and you trust me.

Gore has been doing this eco-trip for a very long time, and he has no excuse for what was discovered about his house. Like so many others, he talks the talk, but doesn't walk it. They are elitists who tell us to live one way while they live another, and they really do not care about the environment or the other issues that they are promoting. They only do this to try and prove that they care about these issues, when they really don't. It is merely a matter of how they are perceived to be, and not how they actually are.
