Gore's representatives said he also has installed solar panels and uses compact fluorescent bulbs and other energy-saving technology and he buys carbon offsets: a service that indirectly tries to reduce the total carbon emissions of individuals or organizations.

"Gore uses compact florescent bulbs..."
How many Gores does it take to change light bulb?

"The office of the former vice president and former presidential candidate told Thinkprogress.org that he has signed up for 100 percent "green" power through Green Power Switch..."
What they don't say is that he probably did that the day after the research report's findings were reported in the news. What a putz.

The only thing larger then Al Gores ego is his carbon footprint.

Gore calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home. Using Gore's fresh win at the Oscars as a backdrop, the new report said Gore's energy consumption has jumped by about 14 percent since the movie's release. The Gore household averaged 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, and 18,400 kWh per month in 2006. The report also said that the Gore's natural gas bills for his mansion and guest house averaged $1,080 per month last year.
Sure tells it all.

he buys carbon offsets: a service that indirectly tries to reduce the total carbon emissions of individuals or organizations. This is the core of what Kyoto was all about...it's a camouflaged wealth redistribution scam. So Gore doesn't actually reduce his own carbon footprint, instead he pays someone else to do it...but they aren't actually reducing anything either, they just aren't using the average amount. It's all a bogus shell game. Why aren't they investigating rather there is actually any REDUCTION in carbon use by this company he's paying?

No surprise here. It's the standard Liberal Answer:
Gore: "I did some ineffective, symbolic things, and I talked about it. I was compassionate and caring about the issue. I pretended to care. The bottom-line realities are really beside the point. Therefore, I'm fine."

Oh, so big people can use lots of energy and little people use a little energy?

Al should work on his personal carbon footprint. As fat as he is, I'm sure he's over the average for carbon monoxide emittance.
To: GQuagmire
Gore is a hypocrite. He uses too much time, energy and effort to refute his junk science; one wonders how much carbon could be saved by him stopping with his propaganda campaign.

Just how many houses does algore have and how many square feet do these houses (assuming he has more than one) have?
A family of,say,6 can live *quite* comfortably in a house of,say.2,300 square feet.
Somehow,I see algore and his wide bodied bride living in three houses of 8,000 sq ft each....which would certainly leave a huge "carbon footprint".

This guy's whole life has been full of nothing but hypocrisy: his father's vote against the Civil Rights Bill, his attempt to use his sister's cancer in his campaign, his family's tobacco farming, his owning shares in Occidental Oil Company, a company that has been clearing the rain forests, his tenants having to publicly complain about the failure of Al to fix problems in the house they rent from him, his elderly dog being found wandering around aimlessly in Washington, DC shortly after they moved there, his taking illegal funds during a visit to a Buddhist Temple, his making illegal phone calls from his White House office because there was "no controlling legal authority"...need I go on?

Speaking of solar panels, back when Gore was allowed to visit the WH once and a while, he installed a solar photovoltaic array to "offset" the power of the WH outdoor Christmas Tree. Iirc it cost close to a hundred grand and was pretty ugly.
He did that immediately and conspicuously- with our money, not his.
So now he'd rather pay for natural gas than install hot water solar panels for his pool (probably because the panels, while not outright ugly, can't really be called pretty).
