Only a week after Live Earth, eco-warrior Al Gore didn't do much for his green credentials when he shocked fellow environmentalists by serving up an endangered fish at his daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner.
The former US vicepresident provided 75 guests with Chilean sea bass - one of the world's most threatened fish species.
Gore, 59, who created the climate change documentary An Inconvenient Truth, sampled a sixcourse tasting menu at Beverly Hills' Crustacean restaurant which included the sea bass - also known as Patagonian toothfish.Also known as Patagonian toothfish, the species is under huge pressure from illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing activities in the Southern Ocean, jeopardising the sustainability of remaining stocks.
It is known as one of the world's most endangered species of fish. Evidently a fact not known by the Gores.
So what are you planning for your Christmas dinner, Al? How about roast Whooping Crane under glass?

Something smells fishy???Is it gorebal warming $$$$$$$$ Yep that's it!
It's amazing how much you twits get wrong. If you had simply dug a little deeper, you might realize you weren't seeing the entire story. But, no... This is why reporting is left to the adults.
From the UK Telegraph:
...the fish enjoyed by the Gores were not endangered or illegally caught.
Rather, the restaurant later confirmed, they had come from one of the world's few well-managed, sustainable populations of toothfish, and caught and documented in compliance with Marine Stewardship Council regulations.

This is where you say that the Telegraph is biased or not to be trusted.
ahhh, when the Gores dine on endangered fish they, of course, can identify they were of the "less endangered" variety. Thank GOD for Mrs Pauls toothfish offset farm! YOU ROCK! I'm sure Gore probably has a financial interest in the venture because "green makes green" for the Goracle.
But David, did Owl Gore purchase carbon offsets for the CO2 emissions of the fishing boat's engines?

This is like the seafood version of carbon offsets. Seriously. Now he can complain about endangered species, and eat them too! We should all listen to Gore. "Universal Consensus" BOOYAH!
david, regardless where he got the fish, it remains an endangered species in the wild. You'd think a guy on an environmental high-horse would have a little more tact in his menu selection.
