Junk Science: Al Gore's Epic Hypocrisy
foxnews.com — Al Gore imagines that future poets will be singing his praises 1,000 years from now. In the meantime back on Planet Earth, he may have to settle for the slings and arrows that he deserves for his epic hypocrisy.

HE SHOULD BE MOCKED FOR FAKE DATA TO LINE HIS POCKETS. HE COMES
FIRST PROMOTING HIS PHONY DATA... REGARDLESS. HE IS LAUGHING ALL
THE WAY TO BANK. HIS FOLLOWERS CERTAINLY ARE NOT THINKING.- Jake81499, on 06/22/2008, -1/+1Al Gore already admitted that he is making money off his scares. He flunked out of every science class he ever took yet these dopes want to believe him.
- Ridgeliner7, on 06/23/2008, -2/+1"But aside from increased energy use not being consistent with Gore’s preaching about downsizing our lifestyles, it’s worth noting that his personal energy use increased despite using energy saving devices and solar power.
During a time of an alleged crisis, the profile of his personal power consumption is more akin to "greed" than "green"; moreover, the environmental impacts of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s "green power" program from which Gore buys high-priced energy are murky, if not downright trivial.
Only 0.05 percent of TVA’s power is "green" and TVA acknowledges its green power program still produces greenhouse gases. All Gore really knows about any alleged benefits is that he pays an extra $4 for every 150-kilowatt hours of "green power" purchased.
He also says he has purchased "carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint." It’s not at all clear, however, that carbon offsets actually offset anything. Carbon offsets and the industry that sells them are so dubious that Congress and the Federal Trade Commission launched investigations of them last year."
