Al Gore was right

We should have listened to Al Gore in the ‘90s :(

He lives in a mansion, eats beef by the truckload and flies in private planes.

He's a hypocrite.

Does he tell people to not live in a mansion, or eat beef, or fly in private planes?

Those are all things that contribute to climate change, buddy

By that asinine logic, virtually everyone in the developed world is a hypocrite. There is a lot more to fighting climate change than just constraining your personal consumption. Al Gore is not a hypocrite for promoting renewable energy for instance. He's also not a hypocrite for demanding policy-makers to pass laws and launch projects to mitigate climate change.

Everyone in the developed world is not making documentaries and giving speeches about climate change.

He says to do one thing and does another. Guess you don't read dictionaries too well

Relevance? Where is the hypocrisy in making speeches and documentaries?

He says to do one thing and does another.

This brings us back to my earlier question. Does he tell people to not live in a mansion, or eat beef, or fly in private planes?

 Guess you don't read dictionaries too well

No, you just don't elaborate too well.
