The FACT is that regardless what Obama says, he has no control over the largest so-called "polluters" on the globe.......Nor am I blaming him for anything.  I'm citing the rank hypocrisy from uber-rich, think they know--it-alls leftists, lecturing the rest of us lesser finanical folks on how much we need reduce/cut/cattle-up, while they jet set in their private jets, collosal RV's, mega-million dollar yachts, and stay in one of their multiple mega-mansions

More facts for the Professor to ignore while he plots his next effort to try and piss me off    8)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The UN Climate Summit 2014 was a glaring example of hypocrisy. Just the speakers alone, not the attendees or notable guests for the summit, traveled a grand total of 1,036,537 miles from locations as distant as China, India and Peru. That’s enough miles to circle the equator 41.6 times.

According to the UN itself, in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, “more than 95 percent of our total carbon footprint resulted from air travel.”

This isn’t the first time that climate alarmists have demonstrated their hypocrisy with a “do what we say, not what we do” message. Al Gore has been criticized for flying to events in a private plane. Naomi Klein, a registered participant of the event (though not one of the speakers), is very critical of air travelers, even though she flies frequently. The Guardian reported on Sept. 14, that Klein actually flies “a lot more than most people, and is set to rack up enough air miles to make her, by her own admission, a ‘climate criminal.’”

Yet, Klein had no problem criticizing the passengers of a plane that was temporarily delayed on the tarmac due to softening asphalt during the summer of 2013. “It’s no mystery why this has been happening: the profligate burning of fossil fuels, the very thing that US Airways was bound and determined to do despite the inconvenience presented by a melting tarmac,” Klein wrote confidently. “This irony – the fact that the burning of fossil fuels is so radically changing our climate that it is getting in the way of our capacity to burn fossil fuels – did not stop the passengers of 3935 from reembarking and continuing their journeys.”

Consequently, the BBC reported that this can happen in temperatures as low as 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit). The temperature that day was reportedly 100 degrees, which wasn’t a record, or even the hottest day for that summer.

What is the number written on the wings of Al Gore's famous private plane, sirs?

I am all for these meetings to be held by teleconferencing, by the way.

Did I say he owned one?  Flying in them doesn't equate to personally owning one.  But of course, you knew that, which is why you're trying to argue a point, yet again not made.

But, of course, I did not say that the plane was OWNED by him, only that it was his in the sense that he OCCUPIED it. So, sirs, let;s have that number.

Isn't this the point where I'm supposed to demand where you go look it up your own damn self?

Number of all the private jets he's flyed on?  Not sure that information is made to the public, but if I can find even 1 article that he was flying in a private jet, does that not make my point?

See....this is what's called backing up your claims.

We should have elected him president.

Actually, we did.

No, sirs NEVER watched Fox News.

What percentage of the time does Al Gore charter planes?

How about Rush? How about Romney? How about the Koch Brothers?
Since you always seem to crave symmetry.

Wow...where to start.  That attempted change of subject practically caused a whiplash.  And according to the Constitution, no we didn't

What does % of chartering private planes have to do with anything, much less Rush or Romney??  Considering we've never seen Gore on a commercial airline makes that % about.....100%.  That's of course when he's not being offered a free private jet ride

And since the latter 3 aren't trying to browbeat and brainwash the ignorant masses to ride bikes while they ride in private jets makes the attempted "symmetry" irrelevant, and Gore's hypocrisy as transparent as your deflection efforts

Al Gore lives large and preaches modest lifestyle.

This is not because he is stupid nor hypocritical, it is only that he has never been of modest means and doesn't know he is extravagant for the same reason that a fish does not know it is wet.

I didn't find anything that indicates Al Gore owns a large aircraft , but he is often seen debarking private planes that he charters or that his friends own.


Donald Trump on the other hand has a 757 , a real doozy , the Donald knows that conspicuous consumption needs to be conspicuous.

No matter what Gore does, the fact is that global climate change and the rising of the sea levels is caused by human activity, and can be diminished by the same.

Had Al Gore been elected president, there would have been no Iraq War mongered and we would surely be better off.

Actions speak louder than words. ... and his actions are grossly hypocritical. So no amount of crying, how he couldn't even carry his own state, changes that fact

And no manner of opining a position that is not settled science, should place this country in a far worse position economically,  especially when it would have absolutely no impact on global temperatures what-so-ever.

  Oh no way .

   Not even Al Gore would be stupid enough to make peace with Saddam Hussein.

It was not necessary to make peace with Saddam. Saddam did not declare war on the US.

Saddam did not have a grudge against Al Gore's father, not=r did Saddam try to assassinate Al Gore's father.

No one claimed he did, either.  Bosnia never declared war on the U.S. either, yet we were raining munitions all over the country, under Clinton

Irrelevent, since that's not why we took Saddam out
