Al Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth'? -- $30,000 utility bill
http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=nation_world&id=5072659

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.

"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."

I guess conservation is just for the little people. Or maybe not.

Is George W. Bush a Closet Green?
http://edc.uoregon.edu/node/572

Is it possible that George Bush is a secret Green? Evidently his Crawford Winter White House has 25,000 gallons of rainwater storage, gray water collection from sinks and showers for irrigation, passive solar, geothermal heating and cooling. “By marketplace standards, the house is startlingly small,” says David Heymann, the architect of the 4,000-square-foot home. "Clients of similar ilk are building 16-to-20,000-square-foot houses." Furthermore for thermal mass the walls are clad in "discards of a local stone called Leuders limestone, which is quarried in the area. The 12-to-18-inch-thick stone has a mix of colors on the top and bottom, with a cream-colored center that most people want. “They cut the top and bottom of it off because nobody really wants it,” Heymann says. “So we bought all this throwaway stone. It’s fabulous. It’s got great color and it is relatively inexpensive.”

The Profit of Doom
http://billhobbs.com/2007/02/more_on_gore.html

how Gore buys his "carbon offsets," as revealed by The Tennessean raises serious questions. According to the newspaper's report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management:

Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe...

Gore is chairman of the firm and, presumably, draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he "buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself.

i rarely participate in debate here,

global warming exists, if you need verification by someone that has all their conservation bases covered, you may be waiting awhile,

right winger debate style is all hat and no cattle, kinda like your lifestyles,

your "hits" are primarily from my friends at lib sites, they enjoy reading about all your emotional issues, jobs, get togethers etc.

so righty of you

[thackney]

[Red1]

Thank You, Al Gore.

Al Gore is the most qualified person in America to bring peace between the Hollywood moguls attending the fundraisers of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Al Gore is the most qualified person in America to bring peace to the Middle East.

Imagine a world where an American President is again the leader of the Free World. Where our Commander in Chief has the experience to wage war, but the judgment to know that the best wars, are the wars wise leaders can avoid.

Imagine a world where our leaders unite our people behind social justice, shared patriotism and a common trust of protecting the planet.

My nominee for lifetime achievement award is the man known by his friends as AG, and known by the world as the passionate and powerful friend of the earth, and opponent of those who would pollute and corrupt her.

Thank you, Al Gore, for your work against the nuclear arms race during the Cold War. Some do talking points, others discuss nuclear throw weight with world leaders. Thank you Al Gore for helping to make the world safe from nuclear extermination.

Thank you, Al Gore, for the vision to see how new technology could be put in the service of humanity. There has never been a political leader in the history of America who was even close to you, as you envisioned the potential for good of the Internet. Thank you, Al Gore.

Thank you, Al Gore, for having the experience, courage and integrity to be one of the few national leaders to oppose the Iraq War when almost all others were bending to the winds of war in 2002.

Thank you, Al Gore, for having the clarity to give a resounding defense of the Bill of Rights at Constitution Hall, when others were too timid to speak so clearly.

Thank you, Al Gore, for the courage to speak against all forms of torture, while the timid were taking polls and consulting focus groups.

Thank you for a lifetime of fighting for social justice and economic fairness. Thank you for a lifetime of translating the Sermon on the Mount into public action to help the hungry, the homeless and the poor.

And thank you, Al Gore, for your passion, your commitment, your energy, your intellect, your research, your diligence, and your idealism in fighting to protect our planet long before your "An Inconvenient Truth" receives its latest honors.

Thank you for your July 7 concert that will rally environmentalists, entertainers and the world to the cause, and surely win the Grammy for the CD that will ultimately raise money as well as awareness.

My hope: that America will choose as its next leader the man who deserves the Academy Award, the Grammy and the Nobel Prize for Peace.

In any event, today we tip our hat, and offer our salute, to the leader among leaders of all American public figures. Al Gore, you have lifted the standards of our civic life, and proven how great leaders can move the world.

For a lifetime of achievement and great deeds yet to come, let's say: Thank you, Al Gore.

[thackney]

ROTFLMAO!!!!!

That is great!!!! I've got tears running down my face from laughing so hard!!

I thank Al Gore as well, for once again demonstrating the hypocrisy of the liberal mindset. Asking of others what he won't do himself. This is typical of the liberal idea of charity. Not giving of yourself but take it first from someone else.

Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human- induced—cause, according to one scientist's controversial theory.

In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.

Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.

"The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars," he said.

Abdussamatov believes that changes in the sun's heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets.

Mars and Earth, for instance, have experienced periodic ice ages throughout their histories.

Al Gore, the gift that keeps on giving.

Al Gore's Inconvenient Loot
http://www.riehlworldview.com/carnivorous_conservative/2007/03/al_gores_inconv.html

Former Vice President Al Gore has built a Green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself, but he set it up so that the average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms. And the US portion is headed up by a former Gore staffer and fund raiser who previously ran afoul of both the FEC and the DOJ, before Janet Reno jumped in and shut down an investigation during the Clinton years.

As Bill Hobbs first pointed out, Gore supposedly pays for his extra-large carbon footprint through Generation Investment Management (GIM) - and if you're looking to go green, and have your wallet go along with Gore, think again - average people are too insignificant to play - verifiable from this pdf.

Generation is based in London, with its U.S. offices in Washington, DC. The firm will manage the assets of institutional investors such as pension funds, foundations and endowments, as well as those of select high net worth individuals.* Generation expects to make extensive use of long-term performance based fees. Generation will begin its investment management business in early 2005.
* like Al Gore

Gore's company, GIM was specifically established to take financial advantage of new technologies and solutions related to combating Global Warming. The Global Warming crowd has told us that just recently new science emerged confirming the alleged fact that Global Warming is man made. So, ask yourself, why is it that Gore set up his Green money machine three years ago back in 2004? Is it possible Gore knew what the science would say before it was out? And even if not, can an individual who stands to make millions from Global Warming really be trusted as an honest broker on that topic? Talk about giving the fox the keys to the hen penthouse.


Media Ignore Al Gore’s Financial Ties to Global Warming
http://newsbusters.org/node/11149

that was just the tip of the questionably melting iceberg as reported by Bill Hobbs in Nashville, Tennessee:

How Gore buys his "carbon offsets," as revealed by The Tennessean raises serious questions. According to the newspaper's report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management:

Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe...

In other words, he "buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy "carbon offsets" through Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks.

According to their own documents, GIM intends to invest in, or buy companies poised to cash in on Global Warming concerns. If we borrow John Edward's so-called two Americas concept for a second, this all means higher prices and taxes with more regulation and an altered standard of living for people like you and me, while Al Gore sits ensconced in his other America reaping profits from each new government mandate for us, business and even government itself. It's win win, alright, but mostly for Al.

Red1,

It is very telling when all the members of a forum, whatever it's size despises a single member. Especially not for their politics but because they are petty little people who post what they could never say in person.

You little boy are gone.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
