Al Gore: I Don't Have A Private Jet; "I Live A Carbon-Free Lifestyle"
Posted By Tim Hains On Date June 4, 2017
TAPPER: President Trump has gone after you directly when talking about this issue of climate change.
I want you to -- I want to give you an opportunity to respond to something he said...
TRUMP: Al Gore wants to eliminate the combustion engine, essentially, and flies around the world on jets and pushes plans that would help create China, make it stronger...
TAPPER: This is a criticism we hear from conservatives all the time when talking about people like you or Elon Musk or Leonardo DiCaprio, that you, yourself, have a large carbon footprint.
GORE: Yes.
Well, I don't have a private jet. And what carbon emissions come from my trips on Southwest Airlines are offset.

Well yeah, but he pays for carbon offsets from dead people and maybe that's why everything coming out him is so foul.
nice house (5) fireplaces
good location too
Carbon free? Living with a bag over your head to recycle your output?
How does the selling and purchasing of carbon offsets reduce carbon?
It doesn’t.
A business is “allowed” to create a certain amount of carbon emissions. But they claim they created less so they are entitled to a credit for the amount they didn’t create.
That becomes an offset that they can sell.
Someone else buys the offset and it becomes a permission slip for them to create a like amount of carbon without having it count.
It is like selling a permission slip to breathe!
Notice that Al Gore said that he uses offsets to arrive at his zero carbon footprint.
What that means is that he isn’t reducing carbon emissions, he is just purchasing a permission slip (an “offset”) that gives him a free ride on a certain amount of carbon emissions.
And the amount of emissions and credits are all just theoretical based on computer models created by people who are in on the scam.
It’s nothing but a sleezy scam and a shell game used to extort money from industry and business.
Al Gore didn’t become a Billionaire cleaning up after Bill Clinton for 8 years.
He made it with his Climate Change scams.
He’s also on Apple’s board of directors. I doubt any of them are hurting financially either.
Here is the short bio Reuters has for Mr. Gore
Mr. AI Gore is an Independent Director of Apple Inc. Mr. Gore has served as Chairman of Generation Investment Management, an investment management firm, since 2004, and as a partner of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a venture capital firm, since 2007. Mr. Gore is also Chairman of The Climate Reality Project. Mr. Gore was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives four times, to the U.S. Senate two times, and served two terms as Vice President of the United States.
He doesnt eat?
No!
He leases one, just so he can say that.
I live a “Truth-Free” life...
Yes, exactly. :)
Hey you left off leather-
I am sure Al baby has leather-(no speculation on my part)
Leather made from cows that eat grass- then pass gas- and expel CO2.
Offsets are income re-distribution - not carbon re-distribution- Al baby this is not the 90’s when you could pass this BS thru the MSM BS machine- this is 010’s where your(sarcasm)internet feeds all manner of truths.
Algor’s association with Apple has been very profitable:

Algor’s failed media venture, Current TV, was sold to Al Jazeera in a $500 million deal:
