1. Al Gore’s Inconvenient Lifestyle. While the former veep and nouveau-$100 millionaire jets around the world squawking about the “planet having a fever” and demanding that we all lower our standard of living, his own personal electricity use is 20 times the national average, including an indoor pool costing $500/month to heat.

I have a question. WHAT EXACTLY IS A CARBON CREDIT?

This carbon footprint thing has gotten compleatly out of control. The other day I heard a report that a woman aborted her baby and had her self sterilized to reduce her "carbon footprint" Toni Vernelli and Sarah Irving
Maybe I'm the idiot but... I don't get it!



Sorry abt the edits - I like to get it right.

Gadzooks! At the end of the day, they are just the same as us but using up so much, much more. After reading that lot, The Colonel will go to the cycle shop and buy a new front lamp that takes BIG batteries for his three-speed, his only mode of transport apart from a modest motorcycle..... bike.gif

(The Colonel does not drive, his wife does).

I've always said Al Gore was a poser, and this proves it. He is completely unworthy of his Nobel Peace Prize.
