Sun News : Al Gore, carbon hypocrite

Added to which Gore owns the company he purchases his "Carbon Offsets" from....so when he pays for his indulgences he pays HIMSELF and when everyone else stupid enough to pay for their indulgences buy their "carbon offsets" they pay Al Gore as well....I hope this helps you on your journey to reality, learning that Al Gore is a fat stupid hypocrite that made the majority of his money from selling his TV network to Al Jazeera which is owned by the Qatari Royal Family who made their millions selling.....selling....anyone have the answer?? OIL!!!...yes no hypocrisy at all there
Not that I don't trust a source from a Canadian media outlet that I have literally never heard anyone mention ever which appears to be Canada's version of Fox News, but I still don't see unjustifiable hypocrisy. And I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't see it.

First, Gore selling and presumably profiting from carbon offsets does not make mean anything. Plenty of people make money while doing something they believe in. I would suspect that Gore is already independently wealthy and that he uses that money to fund his project, but even if he does not I have no problem with it. He's not forcing anyone to buy from him and if it both helps him raise money to help the planet by helping the planet, then I understand the logic behind it.

Second, I have already addressed the television issue in my previous post, and my points from that post still stand. No matter who he worked with in the modern world of media conglomerates, I have no doubt they could be traced back to oil or any number of industries which directly harm the environment.
