I haven't believed anything he has said. Find one example in this thread of me blindly believing any claim made by Al Gore.
Show me where I have. I have, however, listened to what he has said and not gone along with people trying to hold him to things he hasn't said.
In this thread I have acknowledged that if he isn't using available green power that it is troubling and listed several other things I would also find troubling. I also readily acknowledged that I have no idea whether his claims of being carbon neutral are true. In fact my first sentence in this thread was stating that I do not entirely buy into the central argument of An Inconvenient Truth.
You however, have the disturbing habit of showing minimal reading skills. Or perhaps, minimal reading comprehension skills, since what your recaps of what people say so often has little relationship to what they actually said. I know that sounds harsh, but since you did it just five posts ago, the nerves are still jangled a bit.
If you feel there is other evidence of Gore's hypocrisy I would be interested in seeing it. However, please make sure it is based on the actual arguments made by Al Gore, not on the distorted paraphrasing of people hoping to find hypocrisy so that they don't have to address the argument.
Now, I do have opinions on whether Gore is telling the truth about certain things he says he has done. But so far it has been unnecessary to share them because nobody in this thread that has accused him of hypocrisy has actually used Gore's arguments to show hypocrisy. They have only used the distorted summary of another person.
"Gore is a hypocrite because he says A and does B." Until the A part is actually something Gore has said we haven't even begun to discuss whether to believe him. To help us get to the point where A is actually something real, I suggest going and seeing An Inconvenient Truth and reading Earth in the Balance so that you don't have rely on the Conservative Cliff's Notes version.
