Yesterday, at Al Gore's book signing in Beverly Hills, it wasn't the former vice president who drew the most attention from the throngs of onlookers—it was our sexy Mother Earth who turned heads. The crowd showed Mother Earth all the love she's not getting from Gore, whose hypocritical addiction to meat is getting in the way of his call to go green.

Even Gore has admitted that going vegan helps save the environment. And the official handbook for Live Earth—the concert series that Gore himself helped organize—states that not eating meat is the "single most effective thing you can do" to curb climate change. So why hasn't he taken our effortless Pledge to Be Veg yet? Apparently, the simple, delicious truth is just too inconvenient.

Exactly! Gore is a hypocrite!
Do you remember in his film how he bragged about his family having "raised cattle"? How he mourned for those days?
He's a big, fat hypocrite.

Al Gore HAS admitted that meat and animal products are significant contributors to global warming. He now says he has cut back considerably on his meat consumption. In his new book, "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis," he includes a two page photo of a feedlot operation with hundreds of cows. Gore states, “Most of the methane from agricultural operations comes from livestock and livestock waste.” He goes on to say that, “it takes more than seven pounds of plant protein to produce one pound of beef, and more than 6,000 gallons of water.”

I HOPE GORE WILL ONE DAY LIVE HIS VALUES OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND NO LONGER BARGAIN WITH THEM FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES! I APPRECIATE ALL HE HAS DONE, BUT HIS WILLFUL BLIND SPOT IS TOO LARGE FOR WORDS.

going green without including the animals sake is like a rolls royce without wheels - it doesn't drive! so i think that for instance ingrid newkirk and wayne pacelle are more usefull and important to resolve environmental problems than al gore who apparently just wont miss his daily steak and doesn't care that exactly in that way millions of people don't have their daily bread because the meat of the rich devores the bread of the poor!

I think we should be a little more patient with him. At least he does realize the true cause of global warming. You never know, he may be taking small steps toward becoming Vegan. It's not something that most people can accomplish overnight. I have a feeling he'll come around eventually.

How would you feel if a dog was kicked, your cat was cut up alive? That is what they are doing to cows, pigs and chickens. You would be arrested for cruelty if you hurt a dog or cat. Why is it ok to electrocute cows and chickens? They have heartbeats too. It's horrible and the (meat)industry is paying off politicians because we are paying them billions of dollars at Mc D's, BK, everywhere!!! If the public could please be aware, THEY WOULD STOP!!! It would force the (restaurant) chains to offer delicious food without the slaughter!!! Everyone should be aware..

Just a few months ago I was your average meat-eater. I felt so overwhelmed when I first became aware of the horrible problems of eating meat, I stopped eating meat but still felt helpless to fight the problem. Then I realized something, over the past three months, because of my new vegetarian lifestyle, my girlfriend and father have both joined me.
I read that about one hundred animals lives are spared per year when someone decided to become a vegetarian and sticks with it. Because of my decision to become a vegetarian, I have effected those closest to me enough to join. This is what change is. This is how it happens, we all do our part and it slowly begins to work. Maybe three people will turn into six, and 10 and 20.

Ross, congratulations on your decision to go meat-free, and that's great that you have been able to convince others of the reasons to go veg!

The Inconvenient Truth, whatever, never saw it, never read the book,'cause when I was 10 years old(20 years ago!) I was made aware about the consequences of global warming. When I heard about Mr. Gore trying to save the earth, I never believed it. He's a celebrity! private jets, yachts, the entourage that you have when you travel, with your Suv's and luxury cars, the mansions. Please, spare us the bs and stick to hanging out with your celebrity buddies. THIS IS OUR HOME! And it's not gonna wait for people like Al Gore to take notice and reduce his meat consumption. Years from now, the future generation will inherit this planet, and wonder: 'What the hell were we waiting for?!' Let's save it.
