alGore Eco Warrior...

When big Al brushed off his massive energy usage by whining that he offset his footprint by buying carbon credits - you knew some one would check....

Al buys his carbon offsets from Generation Investment Management LLP, which is "an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 and with offices in London and Washington, D.C.," that, for a fee, will invest your money in "high-quality companies at attractive prices that will deliver superior long-term investment returns." Generation is a tax-exempt U.S. 501(c)3. And who's the chairman and founding partner? Al Gore.

Hot air, farts, carbon offsets, snake oil... The man is a charlatan.
