    Gore should be locked in the Unabombers Montana shack for 8 years to live like Gore preaches others live. Any bets on Gore surviving the first winter in Montana?

    Since when can we expect a Democrite to actually practice what they preach for others? Especially an arch-hypocrite like Gore, who not only was in charge of environmental issues for 8 years in the Klinton admin while we built more fossil-fuel burning power plants and further handicapped and dismantled our nuclear power capability.

    Well now Gore is the Messiah, the Savior of the Planet and Head of the Church of Global Warming, we certainly cannot expect him to be held to any of the standards mere mortals are! Gore is practically divine!

    Anyway, we’ve been told it is our fault, our fault for driving our cars to work to generate the wealth of this Nation, to pay taxes and support our families. We are evil for doing that!

    LOL. Not a big deal at all, people.

    Have any of you heard of carbon credits?

    I’m willing to bet $10 that the Gore Team bought offsets.

    The wife and I bought some for our last road trip around California.

  6. San Francisco Liberal
    September 7, 2007 - 10:53 AM on September 7th, 2007

    The wife did the purchase, but I believe they are going towards planting trees and towards a machine that breaks down animal waste and converts it into energy that is given to farmers (i’m a little schetchy on the details of the device, but thats the gist of it)

    And that wasn’t much $$$. Imagine what kind of offsets a wealthy man like Gore could produce!

    No, really.

    He probably bought carbon offsets.

    3,6, SFL, you are the sucker born every minute that W. C. Fields spoke about.

    Gore “buys” carbon credits from a company he founded, and I’m sure he gets cash back out of it.

    You buffoons on carbon credits. YOU are real dolts to have come up with that. I am really laughing at you SFL. Do you buy the machine that turns seawater into gold from the guy in the alley? Do you have the “Tornado” on your car to save gas or the Fish carburator? How many ways are you and your wife LOONS????

    So, none of you have ever researched or bought carbon offsets.

    Soooo…none of you really know what you’re talking about. Again.

    Like I said, everybody who cares is starting to do these offsets.

    Watch, within ten years from now, many of you will be doing the same.

    It’s becoming the “right” thing to do. It’s certainly already the popular thing to do.

  16. San Francisco Liberal
    September 7, 2007 - 11:59 AM on September 7th, 2007

    Ok, I asked my wife, and the device I mentioned is actually a complex composting bin of sorts that breaks down waste and converts it to fertizler.

    This helps the environment by reducing the trash that goes into landfill and re-directs it towards food production for farmers who apply to the program.

    Efficient and clean.

    Naive?

    Hardly.

    “Helpful” is more like the word you should be using. (!)

    I also don’t believe the sky is falling and I refuse to put cash into the pockets of thugs like Gore.

    Now, let me tell you that you and your wife are full of fertilizer! That scam you two invested into is just that. Animal waste has been used as fertilizer in the midwest for centuries! Where do you think the farm implement, a MANURE SPREADER is used and designed for???

    It’s a scam contreived to take advantage of over-conscientious folks who are ignorant of the situation. So these folks (apparently, you included) use “carbon offsets” in an effort to buy off perceived guilt. Mean while, the purveyors of said scam (read: Al Gore) laugh all the way to the bank.

    —————————

    I’m sure there are CO2 offset “scams” out there…thats what you get with capitalism. The good and the bad businesses.

    And that’s why the consumer needs to do his/her research and find out what works for them.

    The Main Point of CO2 OFFSETS: You can’t take back your impact on the environment, but you can help to create balance by doing/supporting groups or organizations that instead of taking from the environment, they give back.

    That could be anything from supporting local farmers and farmer markets (reducing transportation of goods reduces CO2 impact) to helping support tree planting groups, to buying COMPOSTING BINS for low-income families in rural areas, to countless other positive things.

    How can doing ANY of that be a bad thing in your mind?

    seriously. how?

    Greens don’t always live up to the name

    Here’s a little known secret. Environmental activists don’t care about global warming.

    Carbon in the atmosphere is increasing steadily and burning fossil fuels contributes to that trend. Altering that trend apparently is issue No. 1 for environmental activists. Their actions, however, don’t always match that goal.

    This is surprising, especially because Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels made leadership on climate change a central theme of his administration, including Seattle’s plan to meet the Kyoto carbon emission targets in 2012. The mayor promised to spend $37 million in the next two years and millions more to achieve that goal — about $21 to $42 for every ton of carbon emissions reduced.

    The high cost, however, leads one to question if reducing carbon emissions is the mayor’s primary goal. The city of Seattle could go to established organizations such as the Oregon Climate Trust, which charges only $10 per ton of CO2 reduced, or the Chicago Climate Exchange, where carbon credits cost $4 per ton.

    Those organizations offer programs that reduce carbon emissions elsewhere to offset Seattle’s emissions. Buying offsets would reduce carbon far more than funding expensive public works projects.

    That’s not the only example.

    Environmental activists advocate “green building standards” for state buildings. Paying a little more up front on energy systems in new buildings, they say, will reduce energy use later. Many of these “green” buildings such as Seattle City Hall, however, end up using more energy than those they replaced. A “green” Tacoma middle school used 25 percent more energy in its first year than a comparable non-”green” school built at the same time in the same district.

    The reaction of environmental activists to such data is illustrative. Instead of demanding improvements, they defend the failed standards. One proponent of such standards admitted that “the certification process doesn’t audit actual performance of the building or how much energy it really uses.”

    Further, market-oriented solutions that successfully reduce carbon emissions often are shunned. That was made obvious recently in Europe. Energy producers who reduce carbon emissions may sell credits to others who exceed the emission cap. In Britain, energy firms earned 1 billion pounds ($1.88 billion) from such trading. Instead of celebrating this confluence of environmental responsibility and profit motive, the World Wildlife Fund called for a “windfall tax” on that profit.

    Their discomfort with “profit” outweighed concern about global warming. Taxing the profit serves only to reduce the incentive of companies to reduce carbon emissions.

    In Washington state, green power advocates actively oppose our largest source of carbon-free, renewable energy — hydropower. Although they claim that no new sources of significant hydropower exist, they added additional barriers to potential development by classifying major hydro as non-renewable in Initiative 937.

    That same initiative, however, counts other renewable energy sources an extra 20 percent toward required targets if the project is built using union apprentices. Such efforts seem to indicate that they are willing to sacrifice carbon reduction for an economic ideology.

    Environmental activists frequently lament we are not taking global warming seriously. The gap between their words and actions undermines their credibility. Until they are willing to support effective market-oriented environmental solutions that preserve consumer choice, we have to wonder whether they really care about reducing carbon emissions, or are just using the issue to achieve other goals.

    Carbon credits are advertised as a way for polluters to offset the greenhouse gases they produce. Just write a check and someone else will reduce his emissions, so you can keep driving your Hummer or operating your coal-burning power plant without guilt.

    Of course, it’s not that easy. Even some environmentalists oppose carbon credits because, they say, offsets tend to give the impression that global warming is being solved.

    Worse, reports of fraud and abuse are piling up. Most recently, an investigation by The Financial Times found that companies and individuals “rushing to go green have been spending millions on ‘carbon credit’ projects that yield few if any environmental benefits.”

    The London newspaper’s environment correspondent, Fiona Harvey, wrote of “widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organizations are paying for emissions reductions that do not take place.” In other cases, organizations profit by selling credits for environmental projects they would have undertaken anyway.

    “Beating your spouse is illegal. Contributing to global warming and climate change is not illegal.”

    That’s really the best you could do? You are so pathetic it is funny. Seriously, I can only assume you didn’t understand the analogy, because otherwise you’re a complete idiot who has just implied that you think if something isn’t illegal it does no harm. That is the only other conclusion to be drawn from what you wrote even though it damages your own argument. You have a great comedy routine but a really lousy argument. http://rightvoices.com/smilies/yahoo_rotfl.gif

    then later:
    “You take from one area of the environment with your impact, and then you give in another area.”

    (or you beat your wife and do her harm, but you give money to help some stranger’s wife who was beaten and it all evens out.) I shudder to think of what else could be justified by such “logic”.

    “It’s a beautiful concept, and is fast becoming a popular thing to do.”

    I guess that depends how long your wife will put up with beatings before she cuts off your privates while youre sleeping. Whoops another analogy, that probably went over your head too.

    So by your line of thinking if it’s popular than it must be right? The mob mentality or group think argument. True idiocy. If you get enough people to believe it, then it becomes true no matter how stupid the argument is. Lovely that you believe in that, but hardly surprising. I have rarely encountered someone so lacking in critical thinking skills. I honestly can’t see how anyone could take you seriously with the kind of rubbish you post. Anyway, your now saying that if you think something is popular it makes it the right thing to do. That is so asinine I really can’t believe even you were dumb enough to post it. Seriously a ten year old should be smarter than that. The obvious question for you is, if everyone else was going to jump off the golden gate bridge would you jump to? If so you’d better hurry up, you may still be able to catch up with your peers. http://rightvoices.com/smilies/yahoo_loser.gif

    Maybe I can dumb this down even more for you. Let’s pretend you have the brains and money to build a full scale coal fired power plant in your backyard. I know it’s a stretch, I doubt you have the ability to build a sandwich in your kitchen, but let’s continue. By your line of thinking you don’t even have to put scrubbers on this plant because you can pollute your own neighborhood all you want, as long as you fund someone composting dog shit on the other side of the world it will all balance out. It doesn’t matter to you how many kids get sick or how bad the air and water becomes in your own neighborhood because you funed something irrelevant to your pollution on the other side of the world. Everything is just alright with you, you’ve done your part. Until your neighbors come to lynch you for killing their kids. I hope that that didn’t go over your head too. Honestly I don’t think I could lose any more respect for you, there’s nothing left but pity now.

    And as for the weak argument ofyours about the plant and the impact on locals…

    Of course the plant shouldn’t be operating in the first place. Let alone without scrubbers and with its negative impact on the population.

    How can I take tripe crap like that seriously? Come on, people…at least make it challenging for me here.

    Let me break it down for you.

    Beating your wife is wrong.
    Negativly impacting the environment is wrong.

    Giving money to spousal abuse charity after beating your wife does not make your violence OK.

    Giving money to carbon offset organization after flying a jet, driving on a road trip or whatever does not make your environmental impact OK.

    Giving money to groups that fight spousal violance is a good thing.

    Giving money to groups that give back to the environment is a good thing.

    I seriously cannot make it any easier.

    “That’s awesome:I didn’t know that you were so weak, that just ONE comment of mine would upset you SO badly that you would string together as many childish insults as you could fit into one long (and very boring) post.”

    You think I’m upset? Now that is funny, like someone like you could bother me. I just like to tell it like it is. When I see someone as ignorant as you I’m not afraid to hurt their feelings. You deserve to know the truth, you’re too stupid to be taken seriously. By the way, claiming you couldn’t read a couple of paragraphs because it’s too long and boring isn’t a sign of intelligence. Your true character shines through yet again.

    “Comparing beating your wife to environmental impact is just plain stupid and isn’t a serious argument.

    Sorry, I won’t stoop that low.”

    In other words you’re too dumb to come up with a legitimate response. Pathetic.

    “Of course the plant shouldn’t be operating in the first place. Let alone without scrubbers and with its negative impact on the population.”

    So it went over your head of course and you decided to throw out a red herring. Truly pathetic. So I think I’ve figured you out. Self abatement is your strategy for victory? I get it now, you try to make yourself look so ignorant and pathetic as to not be worth the trouble to argue with. Amazing what the truly stupid can come up with, intentionally or not.

    “How can I take tripe crap like that seriously? Come on, people:at least make it challenging for me here.”

    Well I don’t know, how do you take the crap you post seriously, maybe if you could figure that out you’d have your answer. I wonder what is so challenging for you by the way. Is coming up with new ways to avoid defending your own arguments that difficult? What a joke, I can’t believe you’re so pathetic that this is the best you can do anymore. =))

    “Let me break it down for you.

    Beating your wife is wrong.
    Negativly impacting the environment is wrong.

    Giving money to spousal abuse charity after beating your wife does not make your violence OK.

    Giving money to carbon offset organization after flying a jet, driving on a road trip or whatever does not make your environmental impact OK.”

    (funny, that’s not what you said earlier, I guess we finally knocked some sense into you, glad you can admit you’re wrong, finally.)

    “Giving money to groups that fight spousal violance is a good thing.

    Giving money to groups that give back to the environment is a good thing.

    I seriously cannot make it any easier.”

    That’s awesome he finally got it, way to go junior! Seriously though, you have to admit someone helped you with this. You’re not going to convince anyone you came up with that alone. You found some 10 year old to spell it out for you. Now if you can just get him to dumb it down enough for you to understand it. That could be tricky.l-)

    —————-

    Obviously you are upset.

    Look at you! You’re writing like a middle school kid, slinging childish taunts like mud…

    Seriously, you can’t be much older than 17…maybe, 18…right?

    My advice? For starters, get a thicker skin. Don’t let one comment get you so riled up!

    ——————-

    You take from one area of the environment with your impact, and then you give in another area.

    It’s a beautiful, simple concept for most.

    For some, it’s a bit harder I guess.

    No, you’re not hurting my feelings, you are embarrassing yourself.

    Come on, settle down and talk like an adult.

    Getting back to the original topic of this thread, Gore proves himself to be an arch-hypocrite. Flying around in his private jet to Global Warming rallies then wagging his finger at the rest of us telling us it’s our fault and we need to change our lifestyle!

    …back to Gore…

    flying around on his private jet is not good environmental behavior, of course.

    but when it’s necessary to travel like that, as I said in my original point, I’m sure the Gore Team buys Carbon Offsets – not making the impact “OK”, but helping to create some balance…

    Also, remember what he’s doing when flying around…teaching people to be environmentaly aware…he is spreading the message and increasing the ranks of people who care about the environment.

    That said, it would be better if he drove a bio-fuel bus around the nation to give his talks. But that’s way too slow a method of transport.

    SFL you’ve made a valiant effort to rationalize Gore’s hypocrisy, but the bottom line is he’s a fraud, a hypocrite, and a profiteer. There just isn’t any other logical, reasonable conclusion.

    It’s a shame too, because as I recall, he was a pretty good Senator for years. He did support the efforts that led to the creation of the Internet by voting for funding. Then he got tangled up with the Klinton Krime Syndicate, and it’s been all downhill since: The Ozone hole eco-fraud, Bagman for the Klintons, his own failed campaign, then his emergence as the Messiah and Savior of the Church of Global Warming.

    Thanks bro, but of course you know that’s just your opinion.

    I, and millions of other americans think he’s a great man for what he’s doing to promote awareness on the environment.

    We think he should have been president in 2000 (came down to within 500 votes in FL – and remember he took the popular vote too) and we think that we’d all be a lot better off as a nation and with our environment if this man had become president.

    You can call him whatever you want, but it doesn’t make it a fact.

    I wonder if TN will go back to having two Dem. Senators in 2009?

    Maybe he could run for his old chair again, someday…

    I hereby now make this suggestion: All members of the Church of Global Warming should immediately take the following pledge:

    1. They will never drive a fuel-burning, CO2-generating vehicle. They will use public transportation, ride a green Chinese ‘Mao” style bicycle, or walk.

    2. They will never again use a fireplace or any other polluting heat source to heat their homes. Fireplaces should be banned anyway; they should be only for the super-rich and party members (like Dianne Feinstein) to use. The proletariat does not not deserve fireplaces.

    They will never let themselves be transported in a medical emergency by any fuel-burning mode of transportation. They’llsend for a Rickshaw; yes the driver exhales CO2 but Carbon offsets purchased from Al Gore’s UK Company easily account for that.

    1. I am fortunate to live in SF, where we have a fairly decent public transportation system. I take the bus/train to school, work, get groceries and to get to friends houses. I try to limit my driving to weekend trips out of the city.

    2. I don’t own a fireplace; the proletariat indeed does not own them. LOL…you’re pretty funny sometimes, Robert!

    3. I’ll have to leave it to the municipality that would transport me to a hospital on what kinds of vehicles to use. With more liberal and environmental pressure that Gore has been using, maybe someday fossil-buring vehicles will be replaced sooner rather than later, when we’re all choking on fumes and dying by the millions of respiratory illnesses.

    Almost forgot:

    #4: Refrain from flatulation, as it emits Methane, a known greenhouse gas. If it absolutlely cannot be avoided, then it will be recorded, reported, and the flatulator will voluntarily purchase Carbon offsets from Al Gore’s company to make amends.

    Imagine if some radical liberal governemtn took hold here in the US, and forced – under the threat of jail – consumers to purchase Carbon Offsets to seek balance with their carbon footprints…

    You guys would LOVE living in THAT kind of system, I bet!

    “…maybe someday fossil-buring vehicles will be replaced sooner rather than later, when we’re all choking on fumes and dying by the millions of respiratory illnesses.”

    I believe we will be using oil and other carbon-based fuels for transportation for as long as those who own the infrastructure to produce them are making huge amounts of money, regardless of anything else.

    They won’t relent until they have to, and by then they will own the next technology.
    Sad, but true.
