Shouldn't Al Gore cut back a bit on energy consumption before preaching to others?

Question

His power bill says he consumes 20 times the energy of an average person:

20 times the average power usage is an awful lot, even if he does work from home. Maybe he should whittle this down to a mere 10 or even 5 times the energy of common folks before he takes a Victory Lap by jumbojetting across the globe for his Nobel Prize ?

Answer 1

This may shock a few people but George Bush's house is more environmentally friendly and uses less energy than Al Gore's.

Answer 2

Promoting Global Warming is Al Gores job.
He makes a bundle at selling people the idea that they are responsible for the weather and earths ever changing climate.

Al doesn't have to practice what he preaches because he knows it's all a bunch of hog wash so he will do what ever he wants.

Global Warming is a huge money maker and if people ever wake up and realize they are being duped then I predict they will have a new epidemic to sell us.

In fact I wouldn't doubt it if Al Gore doesn't have a new batch of lies to sell us already in the making so when this one fizzles out he'll have plan B.

30 years ago it was Global Cooling and after that idea lost creditability they came out with Global Warming to take it's place.

I wonder what will be next?
Maybe we should ask Al.

OK BuggedInMN here it goes.......
"Al Gores and energy whore"
There I said it too!

Answer 3

Hey Al, time to give up the gas guzzler cars, the gas guzzler jet planes, and the energy guzzling monster mansion.

Apparently, consistency is not a virtue in the minds of the Norwegian Nobel committee.

Duh!

Answer 4

You are absolutely correct.

I want Al Gore to start flying commercial too. That way people can wait in line at security for 3 hours instead of the normal 2, while the morons hired by the TSA argue with his secret service protection detail about taking guns on an airplane.

Answer 5

Your smear doesn't take into consideration that Al Gore's home is not the average sized home, includes his office and office for his staff, uses mostly clean energy that doesn't contribute to global warming and that he buys offsets to reduce his carbon footprint even further. But then, it is harder for one to smear if one actually has to look at the facts.

Answer 6

I certainly think so!

I have pointed out before that there is a major difference between Bush and Gore.

Bush preaches that global warming is not manmade. Then he jumps onto a large jet and goes to his ranch in Crawford where he drives his SUV.

Gore preaches global warming IS manmade. Then he jumps onto a large private jet and goes to his compound in Tennessee or some of his palatial homes in New York City, Colorado, wherever he wishes to go. He then travels around his estates in his SUV.

Difference: Bush practices what he preaches. Gore is so driven by fear that we are all going to die that he increases his "carbon footprint" and wastes energy every chance he gets.

Answer 7

If he did he wouldn't have won the Nobel Prize, invented the internet and "Carbon Credits"

Answer 8

For God's sake. Al Gore knows that there is nothing that humans can do to change to climate. He just thinks the rest of us are too dumb to figure it out

Answer 9

he puts out more CO2 with his rantings than the private jet he uses to fly all over the world in!! Combine the two together and he is a walking flame thrower and is probably the main reason for the opening of the North west passage

Answer 10

Yeah, sadly there were allot more worthy people this year...
...he is nothing but a hypocrite....wants us to use 1 square for toilet paper while he uses x20+ resources than anyone of us...
....and he could benefit by stopping so much food consumption!
