Busted: Do as Al says...but NOT as he REALLY does!

According to Al, you and I and, yes, the whole world must embrace a "carbon-neutral lifestyle" because if we don't, there'll be a cataclysmic catastrophe!

Al Gore even tells us HOW to change our lives and stop our terrible carbonizing ways (wonder how much luck he's had in China).

He's even set some really great examples for all of us to follow:

• Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.)



• But according to public records, there is no evidence that Gore has signed up to use green energy in either of his large residences.



• Gore's persuasive powers have failed to convince his own party: The DNC has not signed up to pay an additional two pennies a kilowatt hour to go green.



• Why hasn't Gore dump his family's large stock holdings in Occidental (Oxy) Petroleum? As executor of his family's trust, over the years Gore has controlled hundreds of thousands of dollars in Oxy stock. Oxy has been mired in controversy over oil drilling in ecologically sensitive areas.



• Gore receives $20,000 a year in royalties from Pasminco Zinc, which operates a zinc concession on his property. Tennessee has cited the company for adding large quantities of barium, iron and zinc to the nearby Caney Fork River.

The issue here is not simply Gore's hypocrisy; it's a question of credibility.
