Conspiracy Theories - The new Utterly Ridiculous Thread or is it?

Do the Flying Hamsters belong in the Flying Circus?

Is it just a coincidence Al Gore is so wealthy

And how about the carbon footprint of Mr Gore, with all his travelling by airliner... and his own house, a huge power consumer.

Do the Flying Hamsters belong in the Flying Circus?

I suspect only if they wear pointy Clown hats with polka dots all over them & ruffles around the neck. Oh, they have to wear very baggy pants & fall over a lot & be able to ride a Unicycle.

He would need to be. He's the bloke that lectures the world on Climate Change & at Xmas time lights up his gaff (US Style) with 20million watts of electricity.


Hypocritical bastard!

I think you'll find the criticism of Gore's house is inaccurate and out of date.

FACT CHECK: A Tale of Two Houses

[V8Ian]

What about his flying habits?

[DiscoMick]

Anyone who flies contributes to that, so it's unfair to single out anyone. What's he supposed to do - walk on water?

Thanks Mick a most interesting article.

But for someone who spouted "do as I say not as I do" crap, he did publicly take the the **** for many years & helloooooo, a person on such a mission should have known better before he flicked the switches.

[DiscoMick]

From memory, his house - which is certainly huge, but I think I read somewhere that several rooms are used as offices by his staff - has solar, geothermal, lots of insulation and wastewater recycling, so he's certainly tried to be renewable.

Of course, the climate change deniers, rather than respond to his inconvenient truths, set out to personally attack him to try to dent his credibility, so that fake news campaign has to be taken into account when considering the mud thrown at him.

Most of us travel cattle class, with scores or hundreds of others, on one plane; not charter private jets, so he can state "I don't own my own jet."

[DiscoMick]

A private jet would be smaller than a commercial airliner and produce fewer emissions.
Anyway, it's the manufacturers who have to deal with that.
