There's a word for this — hypocrisy

And i think stupidity works in that spot too.

Speaking of carbon offsets and shell games, guess where Gore buys his carbon offsets?

Since bad information drive out good information on the internet, it took me a while to find the other side of this story:

Gary, thanks for clearing that up, however maybe you should have read the whole article. It's even WORSE than i thought. Gore doesn't even buy carbon offsets for his private jet or his home etc. HIS TAX EXEMPT COMPANY BUYS THEM FOR HIM. It doesn't even come out of his pocket!!!!! It's all a scam!!!!

(The confusion, Campbell said, arose because GIM pays to offset the energy use of its operations and the personal emissions of its 23 employees, including Gore.)

So Al Gore makes an undetermined amount of money from this company. Some of the money from the company goes to purchase carbon offsets for its employees. I fail to see a problem here.

Of course you do.

First you get them hooked on carbon offsets...then you start charging them for the stuff. Yeah, Gore's a pimp.

No problem gary except that the guy wants to guilt the world into living differently, founds a company that allows rich people to live the way they want without feeling guilty, and then doesn't even pay for his own carbon offsets but gets them paid for by the afore mentioned TAX EXEMPT company!

It's like telling everyone else to walk to work while you're driving the company car!

No problem, but proves my point that the guy is a hypocrite and you're a sheep.

You know Rhino, when you put it that way you make Gore sound like a Republican.
