As for Gore the man is a hypocrit in the biggest way. He lives in a mansion that costs 31000 dollars a month in electric bills. In my life time I will never ever be able to afford such home. Yet I am suppose to clean up my act?? The Goracle is a farce. He travels via his private jet, he travels in a cavalcade so big it makes traffic jams in LA look minute. But, but he pays carbon offsets!!!!!! To a company HE OWNS!
Gore talks for fools.

And you talk for who?
Gore may be a hypocrite, I don't know. I don't even care. Why is he so important to you? His personality and lifestyle are completely irrelevant to the matter.
If you think this global warming thing is bogus then that's one thing, but the message you and other "I Hate Gore" types are putting out there is "Gore doesn't do it, why should I"? which is both childish and dangerous.
And it's not like the guy just cooked up a doomsday scenario and is now out there selling it for cash. This theory has been kicking around for like 20 years.
One thing I always wonder about the skeptics is do they believe that we should just keep going, using more and more as fast as possible, forever.
Forget global warming, what about plain old pollution? Shouldn't we cut back? Where are we going to end up if we keep doing this? A thousand barrels a second -- thats kind of intense, wouldn't you say? Never mind what else we burn up in that second. If this e-mail took me 3 minutes to write, then while I was doing it, 180 thousand barrels of oil were burned. That
has to be affecting something negatively.
