Gore The Guzzler
How big is Al Gore's carbon footprint?Gore isn't the only one. There are plenty of others.
Pretty hefty.
Gore grabbed an Oscar Sunday night for his global-warming horror flick, "An Inconvenient Truth" - and took the opportunity to lecture America about its duty to Go Green and stay there.
Now a Tennessee think tank has revealed an inconvenient truth of its own - about what Gore actually practices, as opposed to what he endlessly preaches.
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, using public records, calculated the Gores' energy use for the past two years at their new 20-room, 10,000-square-foot home in suburban Nashville.
In all, the main house and the pool house used an average 18,414 kilowatt-hours (KWH) of power a month last year; that's 14 percent more the 16,200 monthly KWH they devoured in 2005.
Thus does the carbon footprint - the amount of greenhouse gas generated to keep Gore in kilowatts - grow.
Gore, a Kyoto Protocol advocate, has enough socked away so he won't miss a meal should that treaty ever be adopted - and wreck the U.S. economy.In the meantime, another fabulously wealthy pseudo-scientist claims we're living in a "science-fictions nightmare," and in one sense he's right. We're inundated daily about the myths of global warming with no actual evidence to back up these hysterical claims.
It was the fear of such damage, recall, that led the U.S. Senate - Veep Al Gore presiding - to reject Kyoto 95-0.
What a hypocrite he is.
And he's not alone.
As The Los Angeles Times reported this week, two of California's greenest pols - Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sen. Dianne Feinstein - continue to flit around on their private Gulfstream jets.
A single cross-country flight on such an aircraft emits up to 90,000 pounds of carbon dioxide - nearly double the amount the average American produces from all activities in an entire year.
Meanwhile, Laurie David, producer of that Gore documentary, also uses private Gulfstreams - though she rebukes those driving SUVs. (She now says she's cutting back on her private jet usage - but gradually, like a smoker trying to quit.)
Alas, leave it to someone who actually has a functioning brain to cut through the BS.
"Global warming" is the left's pagan rage against mankind. If we can't produce industrial waste, then we can't produce. Some of us -- not the ones with mansions in Malibu and Nashville is my guess -- are going to have to die. To say we need to reduce our energy consumption is like saying we need to reduce our oxygen consumption.UPDATE: Lawhawk has an interesting post about global warming on Mars.
Liberals have always had a thing about eliminating humans. Stalin wanted to eliminate the kulaks and Ukranians, vegetarian atheist Adolf Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate poor blacks, DDT opponent Rachel Carson wanted to eliminate Africans (introduction to her book "Silent Spring" written by ... Al Gore!), and population-control guru Paul Ehrlich wants to eliminate all humans.
But global warming is the most insane, psychotic idea liberals have ever concocted to kill off "useless eaters." If we have to live in a pure "natural" environment like the Indians, then our entire transcontinental nation can only support about 1 million human beings. Sorry, fellas -- 299 million of you are going to have to go.
