Reminder: Al Gore's an enormous hypocrite

Just in case you're sick of stressing about election results, think about this: No matter who wins or loses, Al Gore's hypocrisy will remain for years to come.

Recently, Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore toured again. Or maybe he does that all the time. This time, he turned up in Gothenburg (Sweden) for the usual alarmist talk. In advance, all distinguished guests were politely advised to - if possible - use any form of public transportation to go to the event, in order to minimize CO2 emissions.

Intriguingly, the Master of World Climate himself arrived in a rental car (with or without driver is unclear), from the airport, and subsequently left the engine running for the entire lecture. That is to say, about one hour. Incidentally, local legislation prohibits - for very good environmental reasons, i e pollution - any car engine running on empty for more than 60 seconds. Fines are severe. As far as I know, he was not fined. ...

After the ceremony in the Norwegian capital Oslo, it is customary that the laureate is invited to the Swedish capital Stockholm, for a cordial visit. The train ride, supposedly the environmental choice according to Mr. Gore, is approximately four hours. However, he opted for the cosier ride with one of the Swedish government aircrafts.

The real question is, which of Gore's four luxury homes did he return to after this conference?
