When One Uses His Power And Influence To Disseminate Misinformation Designed To Garner Personal Wealth, It's A Form Of Misconduct

At least it is in The Episcopal Church.

The Hill: A Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) expert says Al Gore goofed during his widely circulated Washington Post interview on global warming.Gore, noting stronger storms fueled by climate change, told the paper “the hurricane scale used to be 1-5 and now they’re adding a 6.” But in fact there’s no new scale, the Union of Concerned Scientists representative said on Thursday.

This is Al Gore's mansion.  Well, the mansion in California:


This is his mansion in Tennessee:

He owns two other mansions, as well.  Each seems fully equipped with a couple of SUVs, too.

When the people who tell me we're in a climate emergency start acting like we're in an emergency, then I'll be ready to take them at their word.  Otherwise, it's merely the wealthy and powerful using the media to manipulate me into increasing their wealth and power.  Historically, such behavior results in an equation best captured by "France + 1789".
