More on Gore

Once it was made public that Al Gore uses more energy in a month than the rest of us use in a year, some serious damage control was called for. So, here is what the Gore camp says:"Gore buys "carbon offsets". What are these? Well, the loony left has invented these for rich extremists who use a lot of energy. What they do is send money to some outfit which will supposedly plant a couple of trees or put up some solar panels to assuage the donors excessive depletion of resources. Gore buys his offsets from a company called Generation Investment Management. Gore is chairman of the firm and either draws money from the organization or at least would prosper if his investment prospers. In other words, this phony buys credits from himself. He is not buying carbon offsets, he buys stock in his own company.
