We may not live what we profess but we will undoubtedly live what we believe.

1700 Private jets will fly into Davo, Switzerland for a conference to discuss Global Warming. (Al Gore is one of the passengers.) Each jet will produce about as much carbon on this one trip as the average car will produce in a full year.

Skype produces much less. Just sayin'.

[WarTim 3,456]

Irony is SO ironic...

[Weegle777 78]

Are we not in the 21st century? Video conferencing anybody? Sheesh, talk about hypocrisy.

[Proud Tiger 4,261]

Classic example of "do as I say, not as I do."

[autigeremt 6,599]

You can't run up a tab on the peoples money using skype.

[AUDub 11,147]

Guys, a few airplanes are small potatoes. Somebody also PIDOOMA'd that number.

Do you realize that AT THIS VERY MOMENT, Al Gore might be exhaling CARBON DIOXIDE!?!? Therefore he is a filthy hypocrite and everything he says can be ignored, and that's what's REALLY important.

Al Gore is filthy. His own house uses up a larger footprint than my street. Darrel Hannah is about the only person I know of who lives what she preaches. Kudos for her.

algore lost any possible respect years ago. Only a moron would listen to anything he has to say...

We should give up & stop trying so hard. We're not THEM, and never will be.

[AUUSN 823]

Couldn't care less about the GW debate but as the recipient of numerous tragic VTCs, in person conferences are the way to go.

[homersapien 11,367]

Well, since we're talking hypocrisy, I thought you guys believed AGW was a hoax?

He's made some efforts at renovating:

Al Gore, who was criticized for high electric bills at his Tennessee mansion, has completed a host of improvements to make the home more energy efficient, and a building-industry group has praised the house as one of the nation's most environmentally friendly.

The former vice president has installed solar panels, a rainwater-collection system and geothermal heating. He also replaced all incandescent lights with compact fluorescent or light-emitting diode bulbs.

"Short of tearing it down and staring anew, I don't know how it could have been rated any higher," said Kim Shinn of the U.S. Green Building Council, which gave the house its second-highest rating for sustainable design.

Gore's improvements cut the home's summer electrical consumption by 11 percent compared with a year ago, according to utility records reviewed by The Associated Press. Most Nashville homes used 20 percent to 30 percent more electricity during the same period because of a record heat wave.

It's also his and Tipper's office, so that explains some of the high energy consumption, and they pay a large premium on their power bill for renewable energy. But as a whole, you are correct. It's an energy hog.

OK.

[autigeremt 6,599]

If he were serious he would do everything possible to prove his "legacy" by going totally off the grid using solar and heat/cool using geothermal. I could go on and on but since he created he internet his carbon footprint may never be surpassed.

[Weegle777 78]

Well, since we're talking hypocrisy, I thought you guys believed AGW was a hoax?

It is, but who could pass up an opportunity to bash Gore?

[MDM4AU 332]

My point was that a bunch of Global Warming Alarmists will fly across the world emitting loads of carbon for a meeting to talk about how to address AGW.

How about you put your money where your mouth is and Skype or Go To Meeting?? Stop yammering about everyone else and coming up with ways to shame or tax, etc into reducing carbon.

Tipper and Al do not share an office...or even a home. Divorced a while ago. Guess she got tired of his crap too...

Which is a relatively small contribution with virtually no impact in the grand scheme of things. You might as well castigate me for driving to work everyday or breathing if this is what you choose to get up in arms about.

How about you put your money where your mouth is and Skype or Go To Meeting?? Stop yammering about everyone else and coming up with ways to shame or tax, etc into reducing carbon.

I think AUUSN's statement about in person conferences is a good point in response to this.

[TexasTiger 12,833]

Jon Stewart agrees with the OP tonight. MDMAU, how you like that company?

[aubfaninga 16]

1700 Private jets will fly into Davo, Switzerland for a conference to discuss Global Warming. (Al Gore is one of the passengers.) Each jet will produce about as much carbon on this one trip as the average car will produce in a full year. :blink:/>

Skype produces much less. Just sayin'.

At very least 1700 people and you recommend Skype?

[DKW 86 7,419]

Guys, you cant expose the PC crowd as phonies. They have to have core believes to do that. Only thing a PC Crowd-er thinks is that they are the most PERFECT person in the world.

Gore could crap all over the dinner plates of half of America and they could not possibly see anything wrong with that.

Sorry guys, Auto-correct on smart phone has done me in again...I stand humbled... lol

Why do you keep using "PC" as a snarl word?
