Take Al Gore for example:
- he drives a hybrid car
- he buys energy for his home from renewable energy sources
- he has installed extensive energy saving measures in his home
- he buys carbon credits to offset his air travel
....... many more boring and laughable claims snipped.
1) He owns many cars & SUV's. One person with any ordinary car is always going to be 'greener' than Al-Gore.
2) He owns many homes, including one very large and very energy hungry one in Tennessee. So you can pollute as much as you like as long as you pay some villager somewhere a dollar to plant a bunch of trees? Right....
3) He fitted compact fluorescent lamps and a solar pool heater. Wow! He mansions still use more energy than whole villages elsewhere.
4) The 'carbon credits' he buys are purchased from his own company. He pays himself for them.
Flannery and Gore are the biggest eco-frauds and charlatans walking this planet, but there certainly are many other lesser ones also.
Hey, they made very good cash from this obviously fraudulent scam so good luck to them, I guess. Like them I'm gonna continue to crank out as much CO2 as I please. It's beneficial, after all.
