Al Gore admits one hypocrisy: <Even Al Gore, once an ethanol evangelist, now says his support had more to do with Presidential politics in Iowa and admits the fuel provides little or no environmental gain. > There is no sensible basis for using ethanol in gasoline and absolutely NOT as a result of taxpayer subsidies or compulsion of citizen-serfs.

How long will it be before Al Gore admits another hypocrisy; that his Earth in the Balance, Inconvenient Truther anti-CO2 Doomster philosophy is more to do with his Cap and Trade profit centre than actual worry about CO2. If he genuinely thinks CO2 is a problem, he would say "cancel CO2 jamborees which cause huge CO2 pollution and hold virtual conferences in Cyberspace over Qualcomm devices so that Mq gets a royalty". He would refuse to emit CO2, not buy himself indulgences with opm.

Forcing people to use corn as vehicle fuel has always been immoral: <
At a time when the world will need more corn and grains, it makes no sense to devote scarce farmland to make a fuel that exists only because of taxpayer subsidies and mandates. If food supplies tighten and prices keep rising, such a policy will soon become immoral.
> Actual starvation is just another aspect of the criminal enterprise.

The 19th century Irish potato famine and the 20th century Stalin famine of Ukraine will look like amateurism compared with the scale of what might yet be achieved by Al Gore and his co-conspirators such as the evil-doing David Suzuki who should be tried and executed for crimes against humanity, along with Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin [who threatened murder of Julian Assange who exposed their evil ways of government power].

The collectivist policy of forced ethanol production is very like this: <The policy of all-out collectivization instituted by Stalin in 1929 to finance industrialization had a disastrous effect on agricultural productivity. Nevertheless, in 1932 Stalin raised Ukraine's grain procurement quotas by forty-four percent. This meant that there would not be enough grain to feed the peasants, since Soviet law required that no grain from a collective farm could be given to the members of the farm until the government's quota was met. Stalin's decision and the methods used to implement it condemned millions of peasants to death by starvation. Party officials, with the aid of regular troops and secret police units, waged a merciless war of attrition against peasants who refused to give up their grain. Even indispensable seed grain was forcibly confiscated from peasant households. Any man, woman, or child caught taking even a handful of grain from a collective farm could be, and often was, executed or deported. Those who did not appear to be starving were often suspected of hoarding grain. Peasants were prevented from leaving their villages by the NKVD and a system of internal passports.

The death toll from the 1932-33 famine in Ukraine has been estimated between six million and seven million. According to a Soviet author, "Before they died, people often lost their senses and ceased to be human beings." Yet one of Stalin's lieutenants in Ukraine stated in 1933 that the famine was a great success. It showed the peasants "who is the master here. It cost millions of lives, but the collective farm system is here to stay."..

Yes, Al Gore wants us to know who is boss around here. If a billion lives are lost, that would be a good thing because people are the problem and many environmentalists argue for fewer people who are seen as the primary contaminant of Gaia.
