Al Gore's growing carbon footprint
« on: April 29, 2010, 11:37:41 AM »
The environmental impact of Al Gore is growing faster than his waistline. The warmist con game has been very lucrative for the king of carbon credits. He and Tipper have just added to their collection of energy-gobbling homes with a nearly 9 million dollar 5 bedroom, 9 bath Italian-style villa in the celebrity-studded coastal enclave of Montecito, California, home to Oprah Winfry (sic) and many other celebrities. Al certainly likes living large. The home comes complete with 6 fireplaces. How are Al and Tip going to use them without generating carbon dioxide?

Keeping the house functional while Al and family are on their private jet or in any of their other houses will eat up energy and resources.

Of course, as Ed Lasky notes, the Democrats are supposed to be for the little people. No doubt there are homeless people in Santa Barbara, next to Montecito, who really need shelter more than the Gores, who have other lavish residences. Let them eat carbon credits?

By a twist of logic I find rather bizarre, wood fires are actually viewed as 'Global Warming/Environmentally friendly' by a lot of the Gorebots, since they do not involve burning fossil fuel but carbon that is already 'In circulation.'

I've heard that argument as well, to which I've added........"then the difference between wood and coal as a fuel is only the length of the circulation cycle, right?.........."

If everybody used wood fires to heat their homes, they'd complain about that.

True, but just one of several issues I have with the drug-addled Green thought process on this subject.

The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Oh, don't worry.  He'll buy "carbon credits" to "offset" his "carbon footprint" by "planting" "trees" in "forests."


Think I went overboard with the quotation marks?
