Beam me to Planet Gore !

Al Gore is killing the planet. An investigation in 2007 by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research found his 10,000-square-foot, 20-room mansion in Nashville consumes more electricity in a month than the average household does in a year, and it burns nearly $1,100 a month in natural gas.
Mr. Gore travels extensively, often in limos and private jets, to promote himself and the cockamamie global-warming theory, which Mother Nature has spent the last decade refuting by lowering the earth's average temperature by more than 1 F even as atmospheric levels of greenhouse-gas emissions have increased.
On the carbon-footprint scale, Mr. Gore's is Sasquatch. Now new research has found the average Google search produces about 7 grams of carbon dioxide because of the power consumed by Google's data centers, which "are among the most energy-intensive facilities imaginable," said Evan Mill of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Warming, Inc.
Two Google searches, then, produce as much CO2 as boiling a kettle of water for a cup of tea, and 200 million Google searches performed daily generate as much greenhouse gas as all the world's airlines.
We blame Al Gore. After all, he invented the Internet.

If you want on or off this list, let me know.
Al Gore is killing the planet.
But it’s a nice and meaningful kind of killing.
Hermann Goering?
Holy crap! His gas bill would pay the rent on my apartment.
$1,100 a month on natural gas? That’s 3 years worth of wood for my woodstove-delivered and dried. And wood is a renewable resource. Pass me a Nobel prize puleze.
I, personally, think that the Greenwits have gone about this all wrong.
If they would’ve concentrated on showing the Average Joe how he could SAVE MONEY on his basic needs in this day and age; electricity use, natural gas or heating oil, saving water, drive less, take the bus, pack a vegetarian lunch, dry your clothes outside, etc. they’d have accomplished EVERYTHING their black little hearts desired by now...
And NONE of us would’ve noticed we were frogs being slowly boiled a live. (Well, except me, of course.) *SMIRK*
This just proves to me that while they think they’re Evil Geniuses, they’re just doofuses.
They could’ve caught so many more flies with honey, instead of brow-beating us until the methane-producing cows came home!
(I’m done with the mixed metaphors. Carry on!)
Why is this man not put before the people and explain why we are all freezing our @sses off, the coldest in recent memory. The carbon depletion is causing this cold. Can anyone verify this for me?
“The carbon depletion is causing this cold”
Wrong. Carbon expansion and depletion does nothing. In fact, atmospheric carbon dioxide increases and decreases as a RESULT of warming and cooling cycles. CO2 is an effect, not a cause. The main cause is the Sun and its cycles of solar activity, which can be seen as sun spots (There aren’t any now - so it is getting cooler on the planets).
This is one of the reasons that the Greens are desperate to get their tax schemes in place now, because 2009 could be the year that atmospheric CO2 starts to decline, since it lags the temperature cycle by about a decade. They need to be able to say that their policies caused the reduction, not Mother Nature.
My sister lives in midwestern Minnesota. She had a few things to say about Algore the other day. She said he is all wet and if he dared to show his face in Minnesota he would wind up shoved head first in a snowbank.
