Do As I Say (Not As I Do)

[msommers]

If you looked at it as a percentage of square foot usage and compared it to the average home in North America, you'd be really surprised.

I think what Gore is doing is great. It seems like he is been genuine about the issue and cares about changing things.

Then again, maybe I'm just a naive person with big hopes and dreams

It's not like he's running heavy equipment all the time to run up his bill.... he just keeps the lights on, and has the music and probably some big ass TVs for conferences... wooptie doo, that doesnt run up your bill that much... your pools and saunas and hottubs do...but whatever, if i was cashing in as huge as he is from this i'd put up with driving a shitbucket hybrid, and pretending to be hardcore by replacing my windows and lightbulbs... go plant a million trees or something, then i'll be impressed, until then this is all just a show celebrities are to global warming, what wrestling is to sport

1. you are making assumptions about his house, and how he lives
2. he uses a power source that DOESN'T HARM THE ENVIRONMENT, and pays more for it, even if he ran his appliances all day long, had his lights on all day long, and cranked the heat in his house, the impact on the environment would be next to nothing as all the energy he is using doesn't affect the environment

you mean al gore starts a company to help the environment and then *GASP* actually invests in a company to help the environment, UNBELIEVABLE.

ATTENTION EVERYONE, STARTING A COMPANY TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT, AND USING THAT PROGRAM IS NOW EVIL, TELL EVERYONE, THE LEFT IS OUT TO DESTROY US ALL!!!!




If you think someone starting a program to save the environment and investing in it is bad, I'd LOVE to see what you think about people who are high ranking ceo's of companies that are into all kinds of war technology and oil companies and, well i think we know how THEY reinvest into those companies

The environment is my bitch, and I will continue to treat it as such.

And the latest news, he has 4 houses. And each one used more energy than 8 average american households combined..
Also soon to be breaking news is that Al gore is the owner of company that is involved in trading carbon credits.. Now you know why he is on the global warming bandwagon..

It's amazing how simplistic some people are. If you haven't seen 'An Inconvenient Truth', then watch it before you comment. If you have seen it and you really and truly believe that all Gore invested all that effort, money, and time in order to promote a 'green' company which he founded, then you're a very confused and cynical individual.

How about considering, as finboy pointed out above, that maybe he founded Generation Investment Management in order to further support the initiatives which he actively promotes. If anything, this company, and Gore as the founder, should serve as evidence of him ACTUALLY DOING WHAT HE SAYS, not the contrary.

There's no point arguing with some people. The US did not sign Kyoto, so Gore did this so that people could voluntarily individually participate in Kyoto

Oh well... what more is there to say to them. We can spread knowledge and truth....well at least the message of probability lol

Oh well
