NO, Al Gore personally uses more fossil fuels in a month than most Americans use in a Year.

Houses

HOUSE # 1:
A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

HOUSE # 2:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist (and filmmaker) Al Gore.

HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the
President of the United States, George W. Bush.

There are better ways to use your money for the benefit of the planet than giving it to Al Gore - insulate your home, plant some trees, buy a woolly jumper for cold nights.

Only if you give in a very generous way......and yes, it is a backdoor tax. Save your money, spending it won't help a thing.

The solutions to Global Warming (Climate Crisis) do not involve you giving money to anyone...

They actually end up SAVING you money.

Probably not. But It might certainly be a good start. Say what you will, but he really does seem to care. And all these incredibly stupid sound bytes are just that, taken out of context. I believe if you love our planet and respect its Creator to love one another and stay focused on its people.

Maybe if it reduces the amount of hot air that Al is constantly expelling. Being full of it produces additional methane, which is a greenhouse gas,

Use your money to buy a little car, make your home very enegy efficent, and buy local. If you have any left, then splurge and get (Or donate) it to Solar or Wind power for your home.

Don't help the elite buy their way out with Carbon Credits.
