The problem with this thread is its another veiled anti-climate change thread.
ie: Gore is a hypocrite, therefore I feel no guilt driving my SUV. Or, Gore is a hypocrite, therefore all environmentalists are also.
Its another useless distraction while we miss the big issues.
As in, the Gulf of Mexico spill is symptomatic of us reaching peak oil, where all the wells we drill from now on will have to be at the extreme range of what can be done technically and are thus prone to major disasters.
As in, the science of climate change is still correct and has not been disproven.
As in, BP made $6 billion last quarter and won't pay for the spill.
As in, the fossil fuel industry has paid a minimum of $50 million in anti-climate change propaganda and people are buying it.
