Rich people like Gore and DiCaprio and Obama won’t be affected by climate change. If rising seas threaten their vacation properties, they can just move. And they will always be able to afford air conditioning, no matter how high electricity rates climb


The author proves the point of the environ-celbrity critics. The sea level is not rising but energy prices in places such as California due to cap and trade are. The common man is getting slammed while the limousine liberals hardly feel the economic effect.

If Gore’s carbon footprint doesn’t matter, nobody’s carbon footprint matters. Carbon footprint doesn’t matter.Period.

LOL! Of course not. THEY are trying to save muvver erf and if they have to sacrifice by flying on private jets and stuff, well, it’s just what’s gotta be done. So, manbearpig’s house uses 30+ x times the energy of the “average” home but his place isn’t 30+ x times as big. So, power for the uber secret underground lair? Just sayin’.

The ruling elite makes laws for other people, and doesn’t follow them, while living high on the hog off other peoples’ money, and scorning those people.

It doesn’t matter because this “carbon footprint” idea is a con and is BS.

What matters is that traitors to the Republic continue to walk free.

The author, in effect, tries to defend what amounts to the indulgent, parochial and sanctimonious denizens of fictional capital of Panem from the Hunger Games novel trilogy. Read the first novel, "The Hunger Games," and you'll immediately know want I mean.

Do you hear that folks? Emily Atkin says it doesn’t matter that Al Gore is a hypocrite.

So I guess we all just can go home and obey Al Gore now.

... climate change advocates who don’t live a carbon-neutral lifestyle aren’t hypocrites because, for the most part, they’re not asking you to live a carbon-neutral lifestyle.

Correct. Climate change advocates aren't ASKING us to live a carbon-neutral lifestyle. They're asking the government to COMPEL us to live a carbon-neutral lifestyle.

What Ms. Atkin fail to consider is the effect of excess CO2 production on Algore’s credibility.

Algore asks us to believe him when he says excess CO2 production by individual Americans is endangering the planet. But is Algore really believed that, wouldn’t he alter his lifestyle?

It is reasonable to look at such things when evaluating somebody’s credibility. Algore’s carbon-rich lifestyle indicates that he doesn’t believe a word he says. So Algore’s Carbon Footprint does matter. It matters very much.

Al Gore has selflessly dedicated his life to raising awareness about global warming. He has earned a lifetime supply of carbon credits.

#sarcasm

Slippery little bugger, this writer. The nub of his argument is that Algore is not asking individuals to limit their carbon emissions, just governments, businesses etc.

OK

So when a coal miner is laid off, that's a good thing right? His employer is now way more emissions friendly, and I guess he will be too?./s

If a manufacturing plant closes laying off dozens of people, that's a good thing too, right?/s

Algore and his acolyte here are schmucks. They really do mean one law for them (fancy lifestyles) and one for everyone else (apple selling on the sidewalk).

"But ultimately the argument is deceitful faux-populism, and the real hypocrites here are the purveyors of it."

If some anti-gay marriage Republican is found playing footsie in a men's room, the left will scream at the hypocrisy of it, and justifiably so. This is no different.

“Al Gore’s Carbon Footprint Doesn’t Matter”

This is one of the most disingenuous articles I have read this year. The author attempts to defend the indefensible, the massive and unnecessary energy used by Al Gore and the “learjet liberals” as they browbeat the rest of us to use less. To do this she must construct a straw man, claiming that conservatives are upset at Gore for not being carbon neutral. This is nonsense since the climate alarmists neither claim to be carbon neutral or demand we be (yet). They hector us to use LESS energy, to cut back wherever possible. Does anyone believe that these leftists with MASSIVE energy signatures couldn’t cut back a great deal and still live comfortable lives? THAT is the rank hypocrisy that conservatives complain about.

“Global Warming - Climate Change” world biggest hoax and scam.
Just like Obama causing Global Flooding by pissing in the ocean.
That much can humans contribute.
Elaborate scam to screw off taxpayers off their money!

Earth climate and changes are dependent on Sun’s and Sunspots activity supplying 99.99% of energy. Humans can do schit about it.
Volcano eruptions can produce much more distractions to climate than all humans and SUVs farting together.
CO2 is not poison, it is “food” for plants, which in turn produce Oxygen, that we need to breathe.
STOP the scam, jail all the scammers!!!
God bless and protect Mr. Trump!
MAGA!!!!
