Boo Al Gore

[closeyoureyestosee]

BBC News anchor gives Gore a hard time for being a hypocrite.  The best is when he asks "have you gone vegetarian?"

Gore is still a politician at heart, in spite of claiming to have left "public service" (an oxymoron if ever there was one.) He thinks if he says a thing, it's so, no matter what he actually does. I wonder how much of the money he's made from his films, appearances, etc. actually goes to help the environment.

Paxman has a reputation for being gratuitously unpleasant to his interviewees but I have to say he behaved himself. I doubt he is a vegetarian either, though, even though he used that to whip Gore.

i like how he said he walks the walk, then said he wasn't vegetarian, then said that eating meat is bad for the environment.

stupid, stupid man.

I was seriously just thinking about this because Al Gore is promoting his book and talking about how meat is bad for the environment. I was wondering if he was veg*n, but apparently not. Lame.

Totally lame.

But I guess that he's got about half the nation thinking "green," so he can't be all bad.

This frustrates the hell out of me.  Yes, no person on Earth is has a carbon footprint of zero ...but giving up meat is the number one way to reduce your carbon footprint!
