Global Warming a Huge Concern...To Those Who Aren't Wealthy

Guess Global Warming isn't really that huge of an issue, being that the Gore's just bought (for $8.875M) a 5 bedroom, 9 bathroom house...also has 6 fireplaces. Oh and it's not their only house. Doesn't sound environmentally friendly to me.

Taking environmental advice from this fraud is like taking financial advice from a homeless man.

This is what the Tennessee Center for Policy Research found about his consumption at his main home (that's right he has multiple, and just added one more):

"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.

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."
