Try as they might to tell the rest of us what to do, the greens can\u2019t hide their hypocrisy. And the National Center is happy to help point that out.<\/p>\n
Even though they claim the world is going to end<\/a><\/strong> in a dozen years unless average people radically change their own lives and unless the government imposes regulations that can stifle economic prosperity, the greens see no problem with\u00a0jetting<\/a><\/strong> around the world themselves to climate confabs. Barack Obama is moving<\/a><\/strong> into beachfront property. Leonardo DiCaprio leased<\/a> a mega-yacht.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s Al Gore. Thanks to a National Center report \u2013 \u201cAl Gore\u2019s Inconvenient Reality\u201d<\/a><\/strong> by Senior Fellow Drew Johnson<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the sage of climate change was recently named the biggest hypocrite of them all by both a sitting senator and former governor.<\/p>\n As an alternative to Global Climate Week, which the left observed by holding traffic jam-causing protests (that CAN\u2019T be environmentally friendly!), U.S. Senator James Inhofe provided \u201ca dose of reality\u201d by giving out \u201cClimate Hypocrite Awards\u201d each day of that week.<\/p>\n Inhofe\u2019s infamous awardees included Michael Mann<\/a><\/strong>, Obama, Climate Summit participants and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n But the top dishonor was reserved for Gore, whom Inhofe called \u201cAmerica\u2019s greatest climate hypocrite.\u201d The senator explained:<\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s Gore\u2019s chartered jets around the country or the fact his home uses up to 34 times more energy than the average American household, he\u2019s never wavered in his calls for everyone else to, \u201c\u2026make [environmental] changes in their own lives.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n How did Inhofe get all this information on Gore? As the Washington Times<\/em> reported<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n Mr. Gore, who had no public comment on the jab, has been criticized for the energy demands of his 10,070-square-foot Nashville mansion, which in September 2016 burned through 34 times more electricity than the national monthly average, according to the National Center for Public Policy Research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n As Drew concluded<\/a><\/strong> in his report on Gore:<\/p>\n Al Gore has attained a near-mythical status for his frenzied efforts to propagandize global warming. At the same time, Gore has done little to prove his commitment to the cause in his own life. While Gore encourages people throughout the world to reduce their carbon footprint and make drastic changes to cut energy consumption, Gore\u2019s own home electricity use has hypocritically increased to more than 21 times the national average this past year with no sign of slowing down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Similarly, Scott Walker \u2013 the former governor of Wisconsin and president-elect<\/a><\/strong> of the Young America\u2019s Foundation \u2013 wrote that \u201c[t]he \u2018climate change\u2019 movement is full of hypocrites.\u201d<\/p>\n
