Fool me once, Gore

In 2006, Al Gore was at the Sundance Film Festival premiering his global warming documentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” with a warning to everyone that unless something is done and fast, the Earth will be speeding toward its ruin. At that time, Gore said if the world continues to ignore the issue and refuse to take steps to reduce greenhouse gases within the next 10 years, “the world will reach a point of no return.”

Now, here we are 11 years later and being wrong hasn’t stopped Gore from his environmental crusade, which he profits from to the tune of millions of dollars. Promoting his new documentary “An Inconvenient Sequel,” he says: “The window of opportunity is closing, so what is it that we are going to do — now?”

Fool me once, Mr. Gore, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
