Crush Liberalism

We all know by now that Gore’s concern about global “warming” is about as genuine as Bubba’s wedding vows. From his global jetsetting in jumbo-sized carbon spewers to that energy hog he lives in (part of the year, anyway) in Nashville, he has standards that he demands of us little people to which he will not personally adhere.

Well now, add this to the Goreacle’s resumé: he doesn’t think China should have to curb emissions until America does. From Allahpundit:

He had two options. Take his own global-warming platform seriously by encouraging all countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as expeditiously as they can? Or work a nonsensical wealth-based double standard in there to thrill and delight “the international community”?

Environmentalist or leftist? Choices, choices.

Emerging economies such as China are justified in holding back on fighting greenhouse gas emissions until richer polluters like the United States do more to solve the problem, former Vice President Al Gore said Wednesday…

Chinese officials said they would act after industrial countries such as the United States and others make changes themselves, Gore said, addressing a conference in Madrid on global warming.

“They’re right in saying that. But we have to act quickly,” said Gore, who was nominated last week for a Nobel Peace Prize for his work in drawing attention to global warming.

“China’s reaction to the scientific report last week was disappointing, but it was instructive,” Gore said.

Exit question: Does this class-based exception to the scourge of glacier-melting help or hinder his Nobel chances?

True environmentalists believe in doing their own part, but they also at least pay lip service to everyone else doing theirs. Gore is saying that he doesn’t care if China cleans up or not, so long as he gets to bash America first. Then again, as Florida 2000 shows, this man routinely fails to have his own country’s best interests at heart.

This schmuck is not to be taken seriously as an environmentalist at all.
