GORE MANSION USES 20X AVERAGE HOUSEHOLD; CONSUMPTION INCREASE AFTER 'TRUTH'
drudgereport.com — Last night, Al Gore ’s global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, collected an Oscar for best documentary feature, but the Tennessee Center for Policy Research has found that Gore deserves a gold statue for hypocrisy.

- mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It seems some digg users cannot cope with this evidence and would rather bury comments and articles like this. As I type this comment, the other comments were already in the negative ranges.
*cough* Are liberals being the hypocrites they claim not to be?
Stop being jackasses and lets discuss this like men. - GopherGod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7What I start to wonder is, if he really is traveling all around giving his speeches.... how in the hell does his home still use up all this power? He probably isn't even home half the year.
I think we should start to point the finger at Tipper and her insatiable thirst for more energy.

http://digg.com/politics/POWER_GORE_MANSION_USES_20X_AVERAGE_HOUSEHOLD- VhaidraU, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9I hate dups too, but the far-left liberal elite of Digg already buried that one before it got on the front page, so lets try it again! It is sad when truth gets buried just because it is not politically convenient to the far leftist agenda so many sheep fall for on Digg.com. :-(
- doctechnical, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6In the lefty mindset it's not the *result* that's important, it's the *intention*. Gore means well, therefore just do as he says and don't pay any attention to what he does.
God save us from people who are doing things for our own good. - BradGroux, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9People also forget that Al Gore chartered private jets flying him back and forth across the country during the shooting of "An Inconvenient Truth"... consuming more fuel then the average American will use in their lifetime. Yet this is the flag carrier environmentalists have been yearning for for? Laughable.

Only thing I hate about digg: Liberal Agenda. - Euangelion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Facts like this don't matter to the left. As long as they feel good....
- gsiegman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I cannot wait for all of the leftists to start claiming this is just more tabloid garbage from Drudge. Here it comes in 3...2...
- Billiam627, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Sorry, ladies.
Its called carbon offsets, look into it sometime.
http://thinkprogress.org/2007/02/26/gore-responds-to-drudge/- doctechnical, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2So the Goracle wants *us* to use less energy, so he can buy up the credits and burn it himself. This does not make him noble, it makes him a hypocrite.
Don't tell me to go on a diet so you can shove more Quarter Pounders down your own gullet.

- Srekwah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh, I have looked into carbon credits billiam62. They're as big a fraud as Al Gore, the Democrats and pyramid schemes all rolled into one.
Look: http://newsbusters.org/node/10989
Any person who professes to believe in anthropogenically caused “Global Warming”, who claims it is an immediate and present danger, who claims that if we all don’t do something the effects will be horrendous, yet at the same time does nothing to reduce his own profligate lifestyle, except purchase useless and cheap “carbon credits”, is nothing but:
> a hypocrite
> a fraud, and
> a liar.
http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008597 - Khamel83, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2i dont mind gore being the poster child for global warming but atleast do something about it yourself instead of just telling everyone else what to do.
its like ted haggert all over again. - Jaywheezie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0C'mon Gore! Are you nuts?
- MountAthos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Anyone see Al Gore's Oscar acceptance speech?
Check out the transcript:
Ladies and Gentlemen! Comrades!
Climate change is a modern-day equivalent of class struggle. Global Warming is an easily understood, historically inevitable concept in Marxist Science designed to help the Party to crush capitalism and fulfill mankind's utmost desire to redistribute wealth and establish a centralized global government with an army of enlightened bureaucrats running a planned global economy based on world-wide quotas and five-year plans.
In the absence of classical Marxist preconditions for the Revolution - global crisis of capitalism combined with massive poverty and despair - Global Warming stands out as the most convenient, non-denominational replacement thereof. It provides both the means to manipulate the masses - and a moral justification for doing so. As such it replaces the previously promising but failed agitprop tools as "Overpopulation," "Ozone Holes," "Global Famine," and "Ice Age 2." Until the time when it gets replaced by another convenient agitprop tool, Global Warming must remain an unquestionable dogma in all political discussions (you shall be notified of changes, if any, by the NPR, the New York Times, and other progressive media organs.)
The importance of Global Warming for the Revolution is too great to leave it in the hands of scientists. The masses must believe that it is beneficial to have faith in Global Warming whether it can be proven or not. If Global Warming didn't exist it would be necessary to invent it.
This, and many other Global Warming trivia you will find in my new book which I will be selling in the lobby right after this speech, so you better start forming a line now. Get used to standing in lines, comrades, because when my plan for the future is implemented, lines and ration coupons will become a national pastime for non-Party members. In an easy, accessible format, my book will explain why, unless you appoint me the next President of Earth, you and your pets will all die a horrible death when this planet blows up.
The book consists of the following chapters:
1. How we're all doomed and the planet is going to blow up.
2. How stopping Wal-Mart can help the polar bears.
3. How higher taxes can help the polar bears.
4. How fairness doctrine can help the polar bears.
5. How higher unemployment is linked to cleaner air quality.
6. How poor impoverished countries like to stay that way.
7. How the printing of Bibles destroys millions of trees every year.
8. How to spot heretic scientists and other Global Warming deniers.
9. How to report Global Warming deniers to the authorities.
10. How greenhouse gases should be renamed so as not to offended the green party activists, people that don't live in houses, and anyone whose last name happens to be Greenhouse.
