An Inconvenient Hypocrisy.

Reuters brings us this little tidbit about a closet environment-hater who used to be veep destroying the ozone layer and contributing to global warming [emphasis mine.]:

AL GORE THE ENVIRONMENTALIST?

Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore appears to have let the glamour of
Cannes get the better of him. In town to promote documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", about global warming and risks to the environment, he and his companions took five cars to travel from the Carlton Hotel to the Palace where films are shown during the festival. Due to the traffic, the 500-metre trip would have been quicker to walk.

Update: BBC [via Drudge] gives us this priceless bit of verbal smegma from the ex-veep:

Mr Gore said global warming was a "challenge to our moral imagination to understand it and then to respond to it urgently".

Apparently, he lacks the moral imagination and the understanding to respond to it by walking himself or even carpooling. Too challenging, I guess.
