Al Gore Continues to Enjoy the Lifestyle He Can Afford   [Iain Murray]

Al Gore justifies his enjoyment of a carbon-intensive lifestyle in a speech in the UK:

He said he was "carbon neutral" himself and he tried to offset any plane flight or car journey by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere".

Translation: I am rich enough to benefit from executive jets and Lincolns because I pay my indulgences.  All you proles have to give up your cars, flights and air conditioning.

The new aristocracy; there's no other way to describe it.
