Global Cooling or Gorebal warming?

[zad0030]

The science behind Global warming is wrong.

The fact that carbon dioxide is changing the earth's climate is false. Records show that the climate is cooler when there was more co2 in the air. The two biggest contributors to the earths climate is the sun and the oceans, not humans.

Even if he is wrong or there's no such thing as Global Warming, the effect that he has had on people looking at more fuel efficient, cleaner running vehicles and alternative forms of energy is good in my opinion. Sometimes it takes something outrageous or scary to get people to start thinking outside of the box.

Would you argue that exploring renewable or alternative forms of energy is a bad thing? i.e. - solar, wind, hydrogen, etc?

It also gives the oil companies an excuse to raise prices.

I think its carbon monoxide, that they are saying causes global warming....

Although Co is one of the major pollutants and causes of Smog, Co2 is the main cause of Green House gasses and the global warming.

Nope, Carbon Dioxide CO2

Gore is a buttbag.

It's not clear that CO2 is the cause of global warming. History has shown that warm periods are usually followed by high levels of CO2. I think Al's got it backwards. Besides, each year, the volcanic eruptions cause more CO2 than all man-made sources by a factor of 2.

Thats what i meant by buttbag, you clarified it better.

Well, go figure:

Al Gore's Own Inconvenient Truth.

I heard an update on the radio today and after all the upgrades, his electricity usage is up 10%. Keep in mind that he started at 20 times the national average in his home. Add to that his private jetting across the country, what a hypocrite.

Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month

Gore’s personal electricity consumption up 10%, despite “energy-efficient” home renovations

NASHVILLE - In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.

After the Tennessee Center for Policy Research exposed Gore’s massive home energy use, the former Vice President scurried to make his home more energy-efficient. Despite adding solar panels, installing a geothermal system, replacing existing light bulbs with more efficient models, and overhauling the home’s windows and ductwork, Gore now consumes more electricity than before the “green” overhaul.

Since taking steps to make his home more environmentally-friendly last June, Gore devours an average of 17,768 kWh per month –1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations – at a cost of $16,533. By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration.

In the wake of becoming the most well-known global warming alarmist, Gore won an Oscar, a Grammy and the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition, Gore saw his personal wealth increase by an estimated $100 million thanks largely to speaking fees and investments related to global warming hysteria.

“Actions speak louder than words, and Gore’s actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity,” Johnson said. “Gore is exploiting the public’s concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile.”

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a Nashville-based free market think tank and watchdog organization, obtained information about Gore’s home energy use through a public records request to the Nashville Electric Service.

You said it

[Timmy!]

Do as I say, not as I do...

[dogbert]

Well, the irony of the whole purchasing of carbon offsets is that it is nothing more than a tax. None of the money spent is guaranteed to actually remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Oh by the way, it was 55 this morning and going to be 82 for the high. Sweltering heatwave... My buddy rode in a heater top Sunday morning. We live about 25 miles from Al Gore.

[dogbert]

Send some of that this way, we've had 100+ degrees for a couple of weeks.
