No Carbon Offset Big Enough

…for Al Gore’s mouth. Or should I say LYING mouth? Recently, Al Gore was in Australia. Heather Ewart, a reporter for the Australian Broadcasting Company, recently interviewed Al Gore. At one point, she asked Gore about a High Court case in England two years ago about his film “An Inconvenient Truth” being shown to public school students. In that case, the judge ruled that Gore’s film contained nine significant scientific errors, that it “promotes partisan political views,” and that it could not be shown in public schools in England without the teachers providing additional materials to counter the film’s bias.

Gee, if they want us to really believe there is a problem, they really need to think of a better way to fix it. If [the experts]  can’t have a footprint of zero, how do they expect us to do it?
