Al gore

[Inithias]

Al Gore, who has recently won an oscar for his film "An Inconvenient Truth", uses 191.000 kilowatt / hour. While an average family in Nashville uses only 15.600 kilowatt / hour.

That says 'The Tennessee Centre for Policy Research'. The group is against the ideals of Gore, and they say that there is no greenhouse effect, and that there is no reheating of the earth.

What do you think ?

I think though his KW/hr usage is entirely irrelevant but it illustrates that he is just another hypocritical plastic politician - as if we ever had any doubt.

[Inithias]

idd, that's what I kinda thought

[Fawkes]

Like Jazzratt said, I never really had any doubt that he was a total hypocritical asshole, I mean, he is an American politician. But, I don't buy what that group said about there being no greenhouse effect because the evidence in favor of there being one is pretty overwhelming.

I never really had any doubt that he was a total hypocritical asshole, I mean, he is an American politician.

so are all American politicians hypocritical assholes ?

[MrDoom]

Nearly all of them. Maybe there's a few here and there that are honest and, if not revolutionary, at least are capable of becoming such.

You never find them on the Dem/Rep ballots, however.

Well, pretty much, and if not hypocritical, still manipulative assholes or else they wouldn't have been able to get to the position that they are in.

I apllaud for what al gore has done, he has made many people more aware of the global warming problem we face. It is true that it is a bit hypocritacal tho with the huge amount of electricity he uses, but is it from a sustainable electricity company?

[Inithias]

So, fck America ! ^^

I think it's great what Al Gore has done. Of course he's a politcian, but so what? At least he's getting the word out concerning global warming, and the smart members of society (that is, not conservatives or libertarians), now know of the environmental threat. I'm not fan of the Dems but I think Gore may be useful in this matter.

[RASHskins]

Hypocritical yea but that was never really in doubt i think. I can't fucking believe though that we are still arguing whether global warming is real or not. I mean by the time they do agree that it is real and helped along by greenhouse emmisions we will already be fucked so. But yea i know probably the oil companies and governemnt paying off scientists.

But yea i know probably the oil companies and governemnt paying off scientists.

indeed, and that's so stupid.
they do it for the money, but in a few decades, that money doesn't matter, cause they'll have to spend it for save-the-globe-projects 'n stuff.

how serial are you suppose to take a liberal who supports the otherhalf of the bourgeois elite in the United States?

[Coggeh]

Al gore is a great man , he has proved the point that manbearpig exists and is said to have been "totally serial" :P

All in all this fact shows he's just another hypocritical right wing bourgeois politician trying to make us feel bad about what were doing to the enviornment when he produces more greenhouse gases than 90% of the country .

[Inithias]

it's a pitty to see how hypocrit some ppl are :^)

[Guerrilla22]

As a politician Gore was part of the administration that approved NAFTA, a move that was partly so US companies could avoid US evironmental standards. That's great he is concerned about global warming, maybe he should have practiced what he preaches, instead of working to prop up giant corporations like Ford, and GM who have vigously opposed fuel economy standards.

[Janus]

Based on those stats, it's pretty clear that Al Gore lives in a mansion (though he has two other homes as well). Although it is technically carbon neutral, the costs alone point out some of the inconsistencies and hypocrisy behind Gore's personal life not to mention his previous anti-carbon reductions policies during his vice-presidency.

[welshred]

I wonder how much was made from an inconvenient truth? did he keep his money made from it or donate it? I think not! Probably went to pay for that electricity bill.

[Inithias]

they do whatever they want, but it's just nasty when they make a film about the environment, and than have 3 houses with massive electricity bills :/

[Janus]

I wonder how much was made from an inconvenient truth?
Over 40 million which makes it the third highest grossing documentary ever made so far.
As for its proceeds, some of it is going to the producers as well pro-environment groups and environment education.

[Inithias]

some of it ? :s
darn, thought the money all went to the environment..
