I would never use the word hypocrite lightly. After all, we’re all sinners, as far as Mother Nature is concerned. There have probably been times in my life when I myself might have failed the noble aim of the Personal Energy Ethics Pledge.

Earth to Gore: the position’s already been filled. Thanks anyway.
