If Gore saved the world, trust me, he'd have told you by now. At $1000 a plate that is. Rich liberals and their money are easily parted. They talked them into H2 cars, so they can be very gullible.

From what I can tell, Al Gore is a good man. Good, meaning respectful, well intentioned, and generally competent. All the attempted smears in the world won't change that. Gore's climate change message is authentic and apolitical. It is unfortunate that his message has been corrupted by party politics. Good men and women can be trusted to try to do the right thing, or at least try to. And there are good men and women on both sides of the political spectrum, whether hardcore Republicans and Democrats are willing to believe it or not. Our Presidents of the last few decades, current administration excluded, I think have all been good men, even if we didn't always agree with them.
It's becoming increasingly important for politicians who are solidly Democrat or Republican to stay out of important messages and decisions, as the topics are quickly corrupted by the mere happenstance of their political party. Political parties are becoming cryptonite to civil discourse.

When someone repeats that tired old lie that Al Gore claimed he "invented the internet", it raises a red flag and suggests that person is not someone to take seriously about anything.

The trump beat has arrived: Lloyd, Kort and Chopr.
I've sent the first two to the ignore bin, but I am unsure about chopr
Chopr: would you mind saying something typical, so I can take you off the fence ?

I'm buying a Tesla for the performance and tech. Something tells me you wouldn't consider that "the right reason", but it still results in change for the better vs. my last car with 17/23 city/hwy MPG.

You are correct, making decisions for all the wrong reasons.
One definition of a hypocrite is "a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings." Definition of HYPOCRITE
At some level, we are all hypocrites. We have ideals that conflict with our desires and we often act on our desires instead of our ideals.
I have considered myself to be an environmentalist all of my adult life, but growing up in Detroit also have always loved cars with a passion. That set up a huge conflict between ideals and desires. Given the choice between something fun to drive and something more efficient but "practical," I have tended to choose fun when I could.
One of the reasons I believe Tesla has become so popular is that you can have the best of both worlds -- an incredible car that is better for the environment than the alternatives. Of course, I could walk or take mass transit all the time, but I am not ready to go that far.
There was a pretty interesting article on hypocrisy in Scientific American a few years ago featuring none other than Al Gore. The Truth about Hypocrisy

Yesterday was a first for me. Driving upstate thru NYC and saw a few signs suggesting to "combine trips" for the day due to high humidity coupled with CO2. Not an issue driving a Tesla

Carpools started as a way to lighten traffic. Cutting CO2 was a bonus.
