ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills.
Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species.
Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.
The species is currently managed by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Living Marine Resources, the body which introduced a catch and trade documentation scheme as an attempt to tackle illegal poaching of this species.
Working with non-government organisations, the Humane Society International's focus is now on pursuit of illegal fishing operators who, in the rush to cash in on the highly valued species, plunder stocks with no regard for sustainability.
It has been estimated that more than 50 per cent of toothfish traded is illegally caught, and includes juveniles vital to the ongoing toothfish population.

Do as he says, not as he does.
Darn. Chilean sea bass is absolutely the best fish I’ve ever tasted.
Better than Halibut??? You’re serious?
No one should be surprised at this pretentious loon. Edwards is another just like him. Wealth and ??power?? and fame seems to act like a fertilizer on these people.

“There he is
Your Komodo Dra-ha-gon...”
As big as Gore is getting, ANYTHING he is fond of eating should be put on the endangered species list.
Well, Al Gore and family are not perfect.
At least his son was driving a Prius when arrested recently.
Ohhh Woe is me... why's everybody pickin on me??? 
100 mph in a Prius. The kid might as well have invented the internet.

GORE’S GLOBAL FLATULENCE ENDANGERS BASS GAS!
You forgot to mention the weed he had been smoking was organically grown not the kind grown in someone’s basement hogging energy on artificial lighting.
The heck with it. Conservation is for the “little people”.... Right AL?
Rest of the story is about the fish, not Algore. Totally bummed.
"I'm shocked. SHOCKED!"
He will just deny he knew anything about it.
Al Gore is like a rural Pastor who slips out to the local cathouse every Saturday night.
