Arrogance and hypocrisy…
This just in: the energy “guzzled” by Al Gore’s home in the past year would have powered 232 U.S. homes for a month. I’m sure his carbon offset purchases and the fact that he is fighting the global warming battle from his home office is more than enough to excuse this!
NASHVILLE – In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”
In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.
In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.
So you have no argument about climate change, you just don’t like Al Gore?
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research…who are they again? And more to the point, who pays for them?
Hey Matt, please, before you respond read all of my posts under the category of “Energy.” I do indeed agree with an argument on Climate Change (end of this link, http://www.blog4history.com/?p=304), one that is presented by 31,000+ Scientists; far more legit than anything Gore or the U.N. has presented. I don’t like anyone who says, “the debate is over,” on something as UNPROVEN as climate change. I do not simply take a side because of emotion or dislike, that is something that others might do…
No I don’t care for Gore, he does not debate or take serious questions, he uses faulty science and hysteria, and is profiting from his bogus claims.
As for the Tennessee Center for Policy Research, they are a part of the “State Policy Network” which is a “a government watchdog, taking both Republicans and Democrats to task for pork spending, for ethical breaches”.

So your point is that anyone who is not with you is, paid off?

You’re right, I didn’t read all your posts, I just made a flip comment.
Thank you for providing the link.
Personal attacks seem to me a diversionary tactic, a distraction. Climate change is a crock because one of its proponent has a big electric bill, that sort of thing.
Everyone being paid off would explain why a lot of people disagree with me….
