Al Gore Isn’t an Environmentalist According to PETA Pres. and Glenn Beck
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) president Ingrid Newkirk took to Glenn Beck’s Fox News TV show this week to accuse former Vice President Al Gore of not being an environmentalist.
Newkirk explained that for one pound of meat to reach a table to eat, it takes 2,400 gallons of water and said, “you can’t be a meat-eating environmentalist.”
At numerous functions attended by and hosted by Al Gore, he has served a plethora of meat varieties.
She and Beck also pointed out that Gore’s home consumes more energy in one day than the average American house consumes in a month.
The chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change told BBC News, “The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that direct emissions from meat production account for about 18 percent of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions.”
Transportation accounts for 13 percent of people’s greenhouse gas footprint according to the IPCC.
Thus, eating meat is worse for the environment than operating all of the vehicles on Earth.
Al Gore won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his environmental work with the UN and his film An Inconvenient Truth.
They have a point. Al Gore better shape up or shut up.
Doesn’t the picture look as if Al’s really excited about getting ready to scarf down an entire cow?
ah hah I always knew he was a liar and he got the nobel peace prize for a damn movie whats up with that?
