In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former vice president’s home energy use surged more than 10 percent, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”
“Actions speak louder than words, and Gore’s actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity,” Johnson said. “Gore is exploiting the public’s concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile.”

Anyone surprised? Al Gore's been making fame and money out of this comparable to any given movie star, since he and many others began to go public with their "climate awareness." While the perspective of this article probably is in tune with a scepticism of global warming in general, it's true that green politics is yet another trend that neither addresses the real problems, nor is anything but a fancy money machine for rich and powerful lobby puppets.

An inconvenient truth
If you watch his documentary, he makes it clear that the world will be saved if we all buy hybrid cars, "green" light bulbs, and turn off the water when we brush our teeth. Such inconveniences, I guess, are what he had in mind when he came up with the title.
What people like al gore don't see is that the truth is far beyond inconvenient.
