Climate Change Hypocrisy

The AFP confronted Al Gore’s chauffeur and supporters yesterday regarding the hypocrisy of showing up at an environmentalist rally in air-conditioned single-passenger vehicles.

Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month (Gore’s personal electricity consumption is up 10%, despite “energy-efficient” home renovations.)

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. Drew Johnson, President of the Tennesee Center for Policy Research said:

A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home. Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption. 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. Gore is exploiting the public’s concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile.”

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. Read more
