Al Gore's Personal Energy Use Is His Own "Inconvenient Truth"

The fact that you didn't watch the movie becomes more apparent each time you post on it.

The documentary was a presentation of current scientific data and evidence concerning what's going on with our planet. It wasn't some political plea. It wasn't a lecture piece saying that we have to use less energy, though he does cover that.

It's about global warming. The causes (man-made and non man-made), the current trends, the current theories, and the effects.

BTW, as for that "20 times more than anyone else," do you know how many people work in/at this estate? Assume that there are 8 full-time employees. Compare the energy usage for this 8-employee business to the energy usage of the average 8-employee business, subtracting the typical energy usage for a millionaire. Tell me what you get.

well said

I'm not posting on his movie, I'm posting on his hypocrisy. Do as I say and not as I do.

What are those employees doing? Cleaning? Mowing the lawn? If he really cares about the environment shouldn't he also be cutting back? Here's a description of the movie - "Director-producer Davis Guggenheim (HBO's "Deadwood" ) captures former Vice President Al Gore in the midst of waging a passionate campaign -- not for the White House, but for the environment. Laying out the facts of global warming without getting political, Gore makes a sobering impression in this Oscar-winning doc on the audiences who hear his message, urging them to act "boldly, quickly and wisely" ... before it's too late to act at all."

I guess if you want to live a pampered life you don't really have to act at all.

Just to add, I'm not against his house, money or energy use. I think people are entitled to use as much energy as they can afford. All I'm saying is that if you're going to try to get me to change my lifestyle you better be willing to do the same or what you're trying to get me to do will "fall on deaf ears."

You wouldn't listen to his message no matter how little energy he uses. Quit trying to be so virtuous. You wouldn't listen to him even if he were a saint.

Probably not, but I would respect him a little more. Not that I could have less respect for him.

well at least you found a pic you like


...........why do you hate this guy so much?,
did he steal your girlfriend or something?

Raditz, i think you got a thing for Al Gore

No reason really. Probably because he's a hypocritical tree hugging liberal.

Just don't let the Hilldabeast know.

your secret is safe with me

i dunno ...it seems more personal than that,
i think he's your real father.


nah you're right in regards the energy consumption thing,
but i don't consider it to discredit his film. i think you're blinded a teency bit by your hatred of the man.

It's cause Rush tells him to. *shrug*

That could be. But I don't have anything against his film though. Just him trying to tell me what to do and ignoring his own advice. If you knew someone that constantly got drunk would you listen to them if they were telling you not to drink?

hmm,
i don't know,
there is a certain element of falacy there in what you said,
even if he dosn't follow it well enough, his message is still valid.

hey, with the amount of energy he's indirectly saving by encouraging people, well more than that, pushing governments maybe he thinks he's earned a few carbon creds
not that thats right.
