The St. Regis Hotel
125 3rd Street
San Francisco, California
Plain and simple, Gore hasn’t been practicing what he’s been preaching all these years. Witness the purchase of his bachelor pad in San Francisco in 2006.
Gore paid $3.9 million for the apartment atop the grand St. Regis Hotel in San Francisco in 2006. There is a swimming pool, a health spa, a roof deck and even a butler available to bring refreshments along with his order of double standards. He enjoys an opulent personal lifestyle while lecturing the public on green morality...
It’s common knowledge that people (politicians, especially) will say one thing and do another, often the opposite. It’s just difficult to observe, in hindsight, when some of those people take a very public stance, muscle their way to icon status – and make less good on their word. The lesson here: If you’re going to fall from grace, make sure you have a cushy seat on a private jet to make your descent a comfortable one.

Wow! If irony and hipocrisy caused warming it would be 420 degreesC at this dinner. Kate is so poor at climate matters that Andy Revkin has had to leave comments to correct her inaccurate reporting. She supports her article contentions by siting herself and she never corrects her mistakes. If one's climate IQ were based solely on reading Kate's material it would be in the 50 to 60 range.
