As usual, when someone doesn’t like the message, they shoot the messenger. Just what can be expected of degenerates and self-righteous ‘wuck fits’?

One of the favourite attacks upon Al Gore, is calling him a ‘hypocrite’. And the favourite topic is always his large carbon footprint – for e.g. his Nasville mansion [20-room, eight-bathroom], big cars and private jet. There is even a breakdown on Al Gore’s energy consumption if you cared to look for it. Just use the keyword ‘Al Gore Carbon footprint’ and you will sooner or later run into those articles ad nauseum.

Then there is Live Earth… exposed as a ‘hypocrisy’ by the ‘good guys’ out there. One of the arguments is that flying all those stars and celebrities to the event and having millions watch the concert is just so very not green in itself. I also recall a particular report in which Lenoardo DiCaprio was confronted during the Oscars about his mode of ‘environmental unfriendly’ travel. You really have to love these ‘truth-seekers’ who ‘expose’ the ‘hypocrites’, don’t you? These people must be one of those who ride a bicycle to work, don’t own a car, never fly on a plane to anywhere else on this planet, don’t watch TV, never use a computer and air-conditioners, and uses a paper fan to fan themselves when they feel warm!

But wait a minute. What then happens to the message? It appears to me that there is a concerted effort to shout the message down with all these noise. Are we to ignore the message and do nothing? And do we not look further what positive effects which might come from Al Gore’s – or Live Earth’s – message? For e.g. an increase in use of hybrid cars, solar power & heating, wind turbines, more efficient and cleaner engines, lowering the use of plastics, people turning off their airconditioners etc?

I really don’t give a flying f*ck what Al Gore and the celebrity is doing to the planet as long as I am doing my part. As to the self-righteous degenerates and ‘fumb ducks’, I wonder, just what part have you done to reduce your own carbon footprint.

Nothing much except to blog and join the chorus condemning Al Gore and the rest I supposed. (And yes, I can hear you degenerates shouting – “Mine’s so small it can’t compare with Al Gore’s!” Right!)
