Who made Al Gore the Captain of the moral police?

In his acceptance speech at the Oscars Al Gore mentioned that we all have a "moral" obligation to fight global warming. This comment reminded me of one of my many pet peeves with the Left. Who decides what is moral and what is immoral? Judging by their speech it appears that the Left have crowned themselves the moral police. There are much bigger "moral" issues in my mind that need to be addressed before global warming, such as:

1. A person in authority using his authority to have extra-marital affairs, in the White House non-the-less. (Bill Clinton)
2. Blatantly lying to the public and trying to deceive for personal gain. (Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth)
3. Breaking commitments and breaking promises. (Cut and run strategy of Dems for Iraq)

Here is some advice Al before you go around preaching to others about correct morals please ensure that you and your close friends are morally sound first. There are few things I hate worse than a hypocrite.

It irks me that the Left think that they get to decide what constitutes a "moral" issue. And to make things worse, if you don't fall in-line with their definition of "morality" you are labeled as selfish and self-serving.
