Al Gore Isn't Vegetarian

I’m in a bit of shock right now after stumbling over this video on youtube. Yes, Glen Beck is a dick head, but this video is worth watching. I have always assumed that Gore was a vegetarian or vegan. Silly me. How can he preach to the world about global warming when he is not making the most important and effective step himself? With his movie, “An Inconvenient Truth”, and the speeches he has made world wide, how can this be? Oh yeah, don’t forgot about Live Earth. Live Earth was/is Gore’s brain child. Watch this video, and leave your thoughts if you wish.

All politicians have an agenda…al gore has known about the effects of livestock farming…he grew up on his families cattle raising farm! Hes been giving his listeners only part of the global warming story in order to steer the growth in certain industries (environmental, alternative fuel, sustainable systems). He may seem a little hypocritical, in that he is not a vegetarian, and this may be true…but…he has done one thing right, he has engraved a sense of social responsibility in the corporate atmosphere by making such a big issue out of global warming. He is the chairman of his company Generation Investment Management(GIM) LLP. This private company is aimed at investing money into global corporations that are becoming more sustainable, because they believe that long-term sustainability goals will make those corporations more profitable and able to maintain that level indefinitely. He is attacking global warming at an economic level and hes making quite a bit of dough off it.

I feel that Gore truly cares about the fate of our planet, but I cannot bring myself to understand why he can’t just give it up.

Dimos,
Do you think there is a conflict of interest then? Do you think that because Gore makes money off of global warming, then perhaps he has an interest to conceal the whole truth from his audience? And is that ethical?

I’m hoping that is not the case.
