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.

Anybody remember that movie “The Freshman” with Matthew Broderick and Marlon Brando? Brando and his crew ran a scam called The Gourmet Club where people paid to eat endangered species, of course it was all a fake but what great fun watching that movie. Best scene was with Bert Parks singing “Margarita”.
Wonder if that restaurant called it Chilean Sea bass and it was old fashioned Catfish just made up and priced at $100 a person??????????????????????
To: Paleo Conservative
Oh heck......they don’t get it. Chilean sea bass are only endangered when it comes to The Little People, not for the Elite such as the Gores, donchaknow.
I mean, everyone knows that, right.........

yeah you know where this is going.I do?

I wonder if there is a carbon offset for that???
To: Paleo Conservative
I know who catered that event. It was actually wet cardboard shaped like a fish and made in China. The caviar was Chinese toothpaste mixed with sawdust.
To: sauropod
But he purchased bass credits...

To: Paleo Conservative
Would you really want to screw up his daughter’s wedding?
To: Paleo Conservative
Just came from that bastion of tree-huggery, Whole Foods. They had Chilean sea bass... filets, kebabs, prepared sea bass entrees, and a piece of whole sea bass that must have weighed about forty pounds.
Probably all farm-raised, right?
