HAHAHA In typical form the liberals that promote for us to do without and pay more for energy, water etc for the good of the planet show their true colors.   I have always maintained that they really mean for the little people to sacrifice not them and here is the proof.  Total Hypocrisy from Al Gore's mansions, Leonardo jetting around the planet promoting climate change in his private jet etc.

Al Gore: Tobacco Hypocrite

 

Al Gore has conveniently forgotten that his family used to be in the tobacco industry.

As reported by NPR about an interview yesterday with Gore as part of his 24-hour assault on climate science:

He went on to accuse those who express the loudest doubts about whether humans are contributing to climate change of “doing exactly the same thing that the tobacco industry did after the Surgeon General’s report came out” linking smoking to cancer. “They hired actors and dressed them up as doctors and gave them scripts” saying that smoking isn’t harmful. Today, said Gore, “carbon polluters” are paying for climate change doubters to say similar things.

But as reported by the New York Times in 1998,

Six years after Vice President Al Gore’s older sister died of lung cancer in 1984, he was still accepting campaign contributions from tobacco interests. Four years after she died, while campaigning for President in North Carolina, he boasted of his experiences in the tobacco fields and curing barns of his native Tennessee. And it took several years after Nancy Gore Hunger’s death for Mr. Gore and his parents to stop growing tobacco on their own farms in Carthage, Tenn.

So it seems that the Al Gore and his family were quite content to profit from tobacco users for more than 20 years after the January 1964 publication of the first Surgeon General report on smoking and health.
