GROUP: New Video Exposes Behind-the-Scenes Story of Gore’s Own Energy Use
Wed May 24 2006 17:59:00 ET
As former Vice President Al Gore’s documentary on global warming fears debuts today, a new video from the Competitive Enterprise Institute tracks Gore’s own “carbon footprint.” CEI’s 70-second video points out that Gore himself is a big user of the hydrocarbon fuels that produce carbon dioxide when combusted.
Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” asks, "Are you willing to change the way you live?" The Gore documentary and new book of the same name go on to suggest ways that people can reduce their carbon footprint, yet Mr. Gore has clearly not taken his own message to heart. He even says in the documentary that he has given his global warming Power Point slide show more than 1,000 times all around the world.
The CEI video, which may be viewed at: http://streams.cei.org/, includes footage of Gore and his constant air travel with two CO2 meters running at the bottom of the page that compare Gore’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with those of an average person.
"All the evidence suggests that Mr. Gore is an elitist who passionately believes that the people of the world must drastically reduce their energy use but that it doesn't apply to him,” said Myron Ebell, CEI's director of energy and global warming policy and the creator of the video.

Yeah. Let's vote'm out!........hahahahaha!
It's gonna take a little more than voting, and I can feel it coming.

Al Gore posed for a photo paddling a canoe. But in order to make sure the canoe would float for the photo-op, 4 billion gallons of water was released from a New Hampshire dam and allowed to escape down the creek. New Hampshire was in the middle of a record drought at the time.
The man is on a mission. You don't really think he, or Kennedy, care that they don't live by the rules they want the rest of us to follow?
They never have lived by the rules they wish to impose on others, and never will, because they are messengers of Gaia. You are only you.

GLOBAL WARMING ALERT: GORE BURNS 439,500 LBS OF FUEL TO ATTEND SUMMIT
"The most vulnerable part of the Earth's environment is the very thin layer
of air clinging near to the surface of the planet, that we are now so
carelessly filling with gaseous wastes that we are actually altering the
relationship between the Earth and the Sun - by trapping more solar
radiation under this growing blanket of pollution that envelops the entire
world," Vice President Gore told the U.N. Global Warming conference of 159
nations this morning in Koyto, Japan.
In what was one the most dramatic speeches in recent memory, Gore announced
to world leaders: "Whether we recognize it or not, we are now engaged in an
epic battle to right the balance of our Earth, and the tide of this battle
will turn on when the majority of people in the world become sufficiently
aroused by shared sense of urgent danger to join an all-out effort."
Applause filed the halls of the Kyoto International Conference Center. "We
must achieve a safe overall concentration level for greenhouse gases in the
Earth's atmosphere."

The message is serious. So serious in fact, the DRUDGE REPORT has
calculated that Vice President Al Gore is burning more than 439,500 pounds
of fuel, or 65,600 gallons, at a cost of more than $131,000 on his 16,000
mile daytrip, just to deliver the warning.
Now that's commitment.

"The extra heat which cannot escape is beginning to change the global
patterns of climate to which we are accustomed. Our fundamental challenge
now is to find out whether and how we can change the behaviors that are
causing the problem."
Gore's plane, a Boeing 707 gas guzzler burns on average 4.1 gallons a mile.
The complete Washington to Florida to Washington to Alaska to Japan and
return to Washington trip calculated from commercial air mileage tables is
just over 16,000 miles total. Gas gallons needed for AIR FORCE II to go
16,000 miles: 65,600. Applying the average price of $2.01 per gallon of
Jet A to the 16,000 mile r/t -- the fuel cost alone passes $131,000.00.
There are 6.7 pounds per gallon of jet fuel. Total pounds of fuel burned on
Gore's Global Warming Express -- 439,500.
Unprecedented Leadership.
Date Line: Milwaukee, WI -
"I'm very familiar with the importance of dairy farming in Wisconsin. I've spent the night on a dairy farm here in Wisconsin. If I'm entrusted with the presidency, you'll have someone who is very familiar with what the Wisconsin dairy industry is all about."

Gore uses Hurricane Katrina as an example, even though that was proven to be the result of cycles of warmer ocean water in the Atlantic that is not related to global warming (if that even exists). Gore continues his nonsense.
Greatest satire of a "holier than thou" person. Anyone seeing it can never take Gore seriously (cereally).

Al Gore's a bitter loser and it's utterly obvious.
Tell you what. I hereby agree to live with exactly the same carbon footprint as Al Gore or Laurie David, whichever is smaller. Not much of a threat, though, because I don't think I'll ever have the income to snork down petroleum the way these two do.

BTTT
Gore is so looked at by many Dems as a loser, it might just drive more votes to Hillary which means that Hillary is using Al. (Don't tell Al)
They don't call 'em limosine libs and Gulfstream environmentalists fer nuthin'...
Until someone does a similar footprint check on the Toons :)
Hypocrite and liberal are two words that seem to go together.
These idiots make Republicans look really, really good.
While I understand the point, the video by itself does a poor job of making it. For example, unless those airplanes are private charters -- and we can't tell from the video --a person could assume that Gore is simply traveling on an comercial airline that would be flying from point A to point B regardless of whether he's on board.
Thanks for the ping!
