Well let's be fair are you in the camp of those who say every scientist who opposes Global Warming is being paid off by big oil. If you are not, the fact that many of the Global Warmers question the motives of scientists who disagree seems to me to make Al Gore and his connections with companies that will make money on global warming fair game. lj

It's not the carbon footprint that bothers me so much. It's the hypocrisy that goes with it. He claims to be making himself more carbon neutral by buying carbon credits. He buys the carbon credits from a company with which he has a vested interest. I don't think he made up the global warming theory, but he certainly sensationalized it. And he has profited from it too. (net worth when he left the vice presidency of about $2M, net worth today greater than $100M). There is plenty of information out there about how Gore profits from the global warming hysteria. He definitely has a vested interest in adding fuel to the proverbial global warming fire. I see "An Inconvenient Truth" to be similar to the cartoons for pokemon, transformers, yu gi oh etc etc..... They are basically 30min long commercials to sell toys.
