The issue here is not simply Gore's hypocrisy; it's a question of credibility. If he genuinely believes the apocalyptic vision he has put forth and calls for radical changes in the way other people live, why hasn't he made any radical change in his life? Giving up the zinc mine or one of his homes is not asking much, given that he wants the rest of us to radically change our lives.Buying carbon offsets. Thats great slight off hand for bean counters, but in the real world he's an absolute A$.....uhhh...hypocrite, yeah, hypocrite thats the word.
