During the 2000 presidential campaign, Gore was accused of hypocrisy because of the behavior of corporations that had contracted to extract resources from land owned by his family. The corporations were the Occidental Petroleum Corporation and the Pasminco Zinc Mine.
Al Gore owned (indirectly through his father's estate) several thousand shares of Occidental Petroleum Corporation. Occidental Petroleum angered environmentalists by trying to open a new oil/gas drilling field in Colombia.
Additionally, the Gore family licensed mining rights on their Cumberland River Valley farm to Pasminco Zinc, which was fined in 2000 for exceeding water pollution limits. Specifically, the Environmental Protection Agency found that zinc levels in the Caney Fork river near the mine were 1.480 mg/L (milligrams per liter); the maximum allowed monthly average was .65 mg/L, and the daily allowed maximum was 1.30 mg/L. Therefore, Pasminco Zinc was found on one occasion to exceed the daily maximum for zinc pollution by about 14%.
However, even the conservative Wall Street Journal stated that "mining is intrinsically a messy business, and Pasminco Zinc generally has a good environmental record" (The Wall Street Journal, June 29, 2000). Two independent tests sponsored by the Wall Street Journal, conducted in September 1999 and June 2000, found that the water in the river was within legal limits, although soil tests near the river revealed troublingly high levels of heavy metals.

Do as I say (not as i do)
El tema es desprestigiar a quien te desprestigia,... de todas formas,... no se quien gana en este asunto.
Y dale. Parece que nos quieren convencer de que largar mierda a la atmósfera es bueno. Aunque Al Gore no sea tan santo, su película no deja de ser impresionante. Y el Calentamiento Global, una realidad a la que nos tenemos que enfrentar, aunque los libeggales digan que es un ecocuento.
#11 Me parece que algunos leen esta noticia con cabeza española y olvidándose de que hablamos de calentamiento global en y desde Estados Unidos. (Donde lo de firmar o entender el Protocolo de Kyoto, suena a chino). Al Gore, ex-vicepresidente, tiene sus propias ideas. Algunas tan polémicas pero tan claras como defender y propiciar la construcción de 700 centrales nucleares en los Estados Unidos. Lo ha dicho la pasada semana en el Capitolio http://drudgereport.com/flash2.htm Este domingo -como la denuncia de su factura eléctrica, antes- solo hay quien le recuerda como hace este menéo que sería bueno predicar con el ejemplo. Lo mejor es que no solo por Al Gore, sino tambien con él, TODOS ahora -demócratas y republicanos, porque partidos pequeños en EE.UU. no juegan ni pintan nada- TODOS apuntan a poner el calentamiento en sus agendas más urgentes. Otra cosa es que comulguen con lo que pensamos los europeos (incluidos españoles, naturalmente)
Al Gore es un hipócrita, debería invertir en una mina de zinc que no contamine. Ah, que no hay, pues entonces deberíamos vivir en un mundo sin zinc (como el que salía en un capítulo de los Simpson)
Lo importante sería saber si esa empresa se está saltando la legislación y contamina más de lo permitido, eso sí que sería reprochable a Gore. No sé si el artículo dice eso (libertasiniradigital me da alergia), así que no la votaré hasta que alguien confirme ese hecho.
quizas por eso.... ha decidido hacer campaña???????:roll:
Y como añadido a #7 y para interesados esta es la fuente original http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070318/NEWS01/70316074
Ah, un mal recuerdo para Al Gore será siempre recordar que en las presidenciales del 2000 tuvo que soportar perder en su estado natal, Tennessee, un resultado que antes de los recuentos y pucherazos en Florida pudo haberle abierto las puertas de la Casa Blanca.
Eso sí es una verdad incómoda, #0
Con estas historias los pequeños partidos se estan frotando las manos
¿y que hacía Al Gore en Cuenca? oh, wait!!
#4 Busca en google, que salga en Libertad Digital no hace que sea mentira.
¡Y tú más!
¡Y Paracuellos fue peor!
¡Y recordad el GAL!
¿A qué viene criticar que libertad digital escriba esto? Lo importante es si la noticia es real o no, y es real.
basura para consumo pepero, no tiene la más mínima credibilidad esta noticia.
