GROUP: New Video Exposes Behind-the-Scenes Story of Gore’s Own Energy Use

Wed May 24 2006 17:59:00 ET

As former Vice President Al Gore’s documentary on global warming fears debuts today, a new video from the Competitive Enterprise Institute tracks Gore’s own “carbon footprint.” CEI’s 70-second video points out that Gore himself is a big user of the hydrocarbon fuels that produce carbon dioxide when combusted.

Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” asks, "Are you willing to change the way you live?" The Gore documentary and new book of the same name go on to suggest ways that people can reduce their carbon footprint, yet Mr. Gore has clearly not taken his own message to heart. He even says in the documentary that he has given his global warming Power Point slide show more than 1,000 times all around the world.

The CEI video, which may be viewed at: http://streams.cei.org/, includes footage of Gore and his constant air travel with two CO2 meters running at the bottom of the page that compare Gore’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with those of an average person.

"All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn't apply to him,” said Myron Ebell, CEI's director of energy and global warming policy and the creator of the video.

Note that the CEI is funded by Exxon and the American Petroleum Institute.

"An Inconvenient Truth" has certainly scared their bosses, so we can expect the smear campaign to continue for awhile.

You have to admit, it does come acrossed as hypocritical.

I'm sure Exxon, et. al., chipped in to Al's Presidential campaign...and probably Bubba's too...when Al was V.P.

Anyway, with all that flying Al does, the oil companies are probably happy with all the jet fuel he buys.
