Declaring that American democracy has been hacked, former U.S. vice-president Al Gore told a Toronto audience that his countrymen needed to wake up to the special interests that have a grip on the levers of power in the U.S. Congress and are able to block legislation on a range of policy issues including his signature cause, global climate change.
Mr. Gore added that he felt action on climate change was possible, indeed inevitable, once it was viewed by enough people as a matter of personal values. When these kind of issues settle into a choice between right and wrong, then the moral clarity that eventually develops makes it possible to move quickly.
In a public interview with The Globe and Mails editor-in-chief, John Stackhouse, Mr. Gore also spoke of his wish that U.S. president Barack Obama would cancel the Keystone XL pipeline intended to transport heavy crude from the Alberta oil sands to U.S. refineries. In part because oil-sands crude requires more energy to extract than conventional sources, and so produces more greenhouse gases per barrel, he suggested that the full social and environmental cost of developing the oil sands made it a more expensive proposition than a faster move by the U.S. to renewable sources.

Yeah Al, it was real ethical to sell your media company to the propaganda arm of our main combatants. If it was up to me, algore would be in prison for life for treason.
Except for the oil belonging to that Arab royal family he sold his network to.
Find a picture with an adult skull. And a male pelvis.
I didn’t make the graphic. It is what it is. ;-)
When I need instructions on what is ethical and what isn’t, Gore doesn’t spring to mind as someone to go to.
Way too obviously an illustration of birth at the moment of crowning.
If it were a case of cranio-rectal inversion, the politician would have had to enter his rectum through his navel to be facing that way.
We need another illustration.
You’re free to search for one. Let me know what you find. I’ll use it.
apparently he has no qualms abotu burnign through tons of unethical oil hismelf
What about the oil he made his first million from? More proof it is a religion and not a science.
Pray for America to Wake Up
Unless it’s the Al Jazeera guys, right, Al?
Alas, best I can find is x-ray or line drawing.
I found the graphic that I use while searching for something else. It’s funny whether it’s incorrect or not. I certainly wish that you could have found a correct graphic. Oh well. Thanks for trying!
...so says Al-Jazeera Gore.
The notorious Free Trader Al Gore at it again....trying to destroy wealth and capitalism
Is there such a thing as an ethical hypocrite?
Very good editorial about this here http://www.torontosun.com/2013/05/10/on-ethical-oil-blood-and-gore
From the editorial “If you want to know the name of his book, look it up”.

Of course there isn't. There is no such thing as unethical oil either. Oil is a mineral and as such is unable to be ethical or unethical.
I am glad to see he has learned what my niece learned at age two.
To all- please ping me to Canadian topics.
Canada Ping!
