The Goracle speaks!

Noel Sheppard over at Newsbusters has a clear analysis of a column by the NYT's Nicholas Kristof about AlGore. The High Priest of Carbon Offsets is quoted as saying:
''We are now treating the Earth's atmosphere as an open sewer,'' he said, and encouraged young people to engage in peaceful protests to block major new carbon sources.

''
I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers,'' Mr. Gore said, ''and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.''
Um, maybe because kids these days don't want to die in the name of junk science. Maybe Mr. AlGore ought to stand in front of a bulldozer. Oh, that's right. Gore's a liberal, and liberals don't believe in practicing what they tell other people to do. Ain't that right, Mr. $1300/month electric bill.

Oh, but he buys carbon offsets. Know what a carbon offset is? It's ordering a Big Mac, a supersize order of fries, two apple pies, and a Diet Coke. Carbon offsets are like the Diet Coke .

UPDATE: Mr. Gore doth not as he speaketh (via Dissident News).
