Climate change legislation makes certain politicians very wealthy

While Al Gore preaches that Americans must learn to use less energy, he uses far more energy than the typical American could ever dream of. 

I know, his apologists will say, "Those are dated articles, he has reduced his energy consumption". Or "That's an unfair comparison, he has to live in a 10,000 square foot mansion and heat an enormous swimming pool, most Americans don't have that kind of burden!"

It just seems odd that he did not feel the need to reduce his carbon footprint until unflattering reports about his energy consumption began to surface. While he may have reduced his energy consumption, he still uses far more than the average American. He claims that we are on the precipice of a global catastrophe that threatens our very existence. If he really believes that, I would expect him to live more like Ed Begley Jr. Now there's an alarmist you can believe in.

What is even more interesting is how wealthy Al Gore has become through his efforts to sell global warming. But to suggest that there is a profit motive here... well, shame on you for even considering such a thing. 



Let me translate the preceding video; what Al Gore just said is "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." When you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar, it's best to laugh at the accusation, then feign indignation. Kind of like this guy.
