Global Warming Truth

[Pirate88179]

Gore lives less than 50 miles from me.  His home electric bill was obtained by an investigator and proved to be over 20 times the average monthly bill for the average person here in the US.  (I can dig up that source if needed)  All of the local radio stations I listen to make fun of him because he denies that his bills are so high.  Yet this is only one of 5 houses that he owns.  When he travels, he takes a private jet yet he tells us to use a horse and buggy because we pollute too much.

He was almost broke when he left the office of VP and now, he is a billionaire.  All he has done since leaving office was working his warming scam.  when asked about all of the money he was making off of this in a congressional hearing, he just laughed and told the asking senator that "you don't know me".  He repeated that answer 3 times, obviously not answering the senator's question.

Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth'? -- A $30,000 Utility Bill                               
Think Tank Blasts Gore for Hypocrisy, Defenders Call Report a Last Gasp from Warming Skeptics                                                                                                                                             By JAKE TAPPER

Back home in Tennessee, safely ensconced in his suburban Nashville home, Vice President Al Gore is no doubt basking in the Oscar awarded to "An Inconvenient Truth," the documentary he inspired and in which he starred. But a local free-market think tank is trying to make that very home emblematic of what it deems Gore's environmental hypocrisy.
Armed with Gore's utility bills for the last two years, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research charged Monday that the gas and electric bills for the former vice president's 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.     

Related             Is Gore's Energy Consumption Hypocritical?            "If this were any other person with $30,000-a-year in utility bills, I wouldn't care," says the Center's 27-year-old president, Drew Johnson. "But he tells other people how to live and he's not following his own rules."
Scoffed a former Gore adviser in response: "I think what you're seeing here is the last gasp of the global warming skeptics. They've completely lost the debate on the issue so now they're just attacking their most effective opponent."
Kalee Kreider, a spokesperson for the Gores, did not dispute the Center's figures, taken as they were from public records. But she pointed out that both Al and Tipper Gore work out of their home and she argued that "the bottom line is that every family has a different carbon footprint. And what Vice President Gore has asked is for families to calculate that footprint and take steps to reduce and offset it."
A carbon footprint is a calculation of the CO2 fossil fuel emissions each person is responsible for, either directly because of his or her transportation and energy consumption or indirectly because of the manufacture and eventual breakdown of products he or she uses. (You can calculate your own carbon footprint on the website http://www.carbonfootprint.com/)
The vice president has done that, Kreider argues, and the family tries to offset that carbon footprint by purchasing their power through the local Green Power Switch program â€" electricity generated through renewable resources such as solar, wind, and methane gas, which create less waste and pollution. "In addition, they are in the midst of installing solar panels on their home, which will enable them to use less power," Kreider added. "They also use compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy efficiency measures and then they purchase offsets for their carbon emissions to bring their carbon footprint down to zero."

Gore too Elite to participate in Earth Hour.

"We really have to bring about reductions in every sector of the economy."                     - Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

I wonder why "every sector of the economy" has to have reductions.
