Second, is one hypocrite enough to destroy any message?

If Al Gore says that the environment is being damaged, that global warming is a problem, and that we need to cut back on energy usage, then proceeds to buy another huge home which uses lots of energy, why would I believe a word that he has to say about the subject. He has absolutely no credibility on the subject.
Now, since there are other people making the case for global warming, Al Gore alone does not destroy the credibility of the warnings about global warming. However, get enough hypocrites like him speaking out and the message might be distorted or diluted.
