Al Gore is a hypocrite
ONLY one week after Live Earth, Al Gore's green credentials slipped while hosting his daughter's wedding in Beverly Hills.
Gore and his guests at the weekend ceremony dined on Chilean sea bass - arguably one of the world's most threatened fish species.
Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.

AG always has been. He was only ever after the green vote.
He tried to make great capital out of a speech supposedly made in 1854 by a certain Chief Seattle.
The whole thing was a put-up job. Chief Seattle did exist - the city in Washington State derives its name from him - but he never made the speech Gore quoted from. That speech was written in 1970-1 by US screen writer Ted Perry, for an ABC TV documentary helping Gore push the Green agenda (for votes and more political power - usual scene).

and also Goddess Earth - Exposing the Pagan Agenda of the Environmental Movement by Samantha Smith, p 123.
Gore's scam in this respect has always 'coloured' (!) my attitude to the 'green' movement - just another gang of amoral opportunists (like the gang they profess to be opposed to).
