Does George Bush buy carbon offsets for his ranch in Crawford?

Question

Of, that's right. He doesn't need to. His ranch is eco-friendly.

Unlike Al Gore's house.

Answer 1

Great article! Hypocrisy is so ugly.

Answer 2

It's a very interesting problem.
Neither practices what they preach, which is to be expected in politics.
Gore's house does consume a great deal of electricity (although there are mitigating factors), while he raises public awareness about the dangers of overconsumption.
Bush's house is really fantastic from an ecological standpoint, but his political policies leave a lot to be desired.

Honestly, I think that Bush is a good guy (doesn't mean I think he is a good president) underneath it all, but that his administration (bullies like Cheney) pigeonhole him into policies that contradict what he's done in his own home.

Answer 3

You must work for Exxon. They'll do and say anything to distract people from the real issues caused by our mass consumption society.

You still can't get around the fact that Americans consume more energy than any other nation, and much of that energy is wasted on super-sized vehicles and super-sized houses, along with 'labor saving' devices that only make us fatter.

But hey, since you can't argue with Gore's logic, feel free to attack him personally. It clearly demonstrates your lack of character.

Answer 4

Liked the article, dislike Gore.

Answer 5

um the question is......

carbon credits are a farce they are the anti-industrial, cetral-planning, communistic way of gainng power and any credence given to this carbon credit idea is a vote toward living in mud huts in a commune with no personal objectsor belongings ......all belongs to those in power.
