Hat Tip to Barking Moon Bat Early Warning System for finding this little tid-bit about St. Gore, Patron Saint of Global Warming, ne: Climate Change. It was an older post and we don’t seem to hear much more about it. I’m assuming that either people don’t fret as much about GW/CC or the media has simply moved on…

Al Gore defends his extraordinary personal energy usage by telling critics he maintains a “carbon neutral” lifestyle by buying “carbon offsets,” but the company that receives his payments turns out to be partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.
Gore has built a green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can’t afford to play on Gore’s terms.
Gore has described the lifestyle he and his wife Tipper live as “carbon neutral,” meaning he tries to offset any energy usage, including plane flights and car trips, by “purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere.”
But it turns out he pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. The company was established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating “global warming,”.
Generation Investment Management’s U.S. branch is headed by a former Gore staffer and fund-raiser, Peter S. Knight, who once was the target of probes by the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice.

Very funny. I’ve seen this article on ST. Gore, in fact I may have posted it myself sometime back. He is a big, fat hypocrite. Nuff said.

Yeah, I thank God the buzz about this whole thing is starting to die down. Got tiresome listening to all the chicken littles running around.
