Our Response to Gore's Nobel Prize Win October 12, 2007

canu say hypocrite!?!?!!? Its great that al gore is doing a bunch of stuff for global warming etc, but any veggie out there is probably doing more by not eating meat then he is. I consider myself an enviromentalist, and i cannot yeas how anyone can win a noble peace prize for his efferots on global warmigna t still eat meat! I don't like al gore, and i think heis a hypocrit...... lol that was a huge rant.........

I can understand the not wanting to eat meat part, but I often feel as though too much effort goes into this cause. It's a nice idea but a misguided one. I see starving children in Africa, maimed children in Afghanistan because they stepped on landmines, families in Haiti and Jamaica living in shacks with no running water, and members of PETA are worried about cows and pigs and chickens...misguided efforts. I hear arguments concerning animals and global warming saying they contribute more methane than vehicles. This might be true, but if PETA had it their way, animals would reproduce without maintaining a controlled population. This would increase the methane production even more. So this argument is a fallacy that presents a slippery slope. But it's one that PETA attempts to exploit. Calling Gore a hypocrite is ridiculous. I notice vegans driving vehicles that pollute the air, water, and land that animals inhabit, sometimes causing their extinction. So why has PETA not banned driving as part of their tactics? It's whatever fits in to what people are only willing to give up. Somewhere there is a child starving, one stepping on a landmine, one suffering from cholera because of tainted drinking water....but, hey, at least the chickens are safe.

Oh come on, Al Gore is one of the best people on the planet. He's doing so much, yes veg. would be nice but still he is doing so much.

wow, rather than COMPLAIN about all of the things peta is not doing why cant you step up and realize the positive, you cant magically save the world at the snap of a finger, veganism and vegetarianism is part of the solution to global warming, never said it WAS the solution, only PART OF it, back off petas case i mean what have you done to save any of those children starving or stepping on mines? you do what you can, we can save animals so we will, it all goes back to the saying "be part of the solution, not part of the problem" don't whine about what's not happening because unlike you, peta is doing something amazing! so i say to peta and al gore

kudos on your efforts and accomplishments!
