Don't be so quick to assume that everyone here buys the GWBS, rhm. I don't. (but I hope we're all still friends)
Al Gore is a hypocrite; Bush's ranch has way lower of an environmental footprint than Gore's place, which is really saying something considering that it is Bush.
Gore hasn't really done anything but perpetuate an idea that hasn't been convincingly proven. His "inconvenient truth" is ironically a very convenient way to justify all sorts of bad policy, and so it proves to be little more than a political ploy to gain the loyalty of our more clueless and corrupt lawmakers.
I have no problem with cutting emissions, increasing sustainable practices, and living more efficiently, of course. I just think that those of us who care about the future of the planet will be more effective in our efforts if we focus them on real problems, that we can actually have an effect on. Riding our bikes after an environmental red-herring leaves half the job undone.
