Shortly after Al Gore won an Oscar for his sci-fi thriller, “A Convenient Lie,” it was announced that he’s actually an energy hog. Turns out that he and his family consume more electricity in one month than the average family does in one year, and his usage actually increased after the release of his movie. In 2006, he paid about $30,000 for natural gas and electricity. (Why Mr. Gore bought a white, 20-room mansion could keep psychotherapists busy for years.)
Turns out, President Bush is actually the more eco-friendly of the two. Not a surprise. Some people actually do what hypocrites only preach.
Not to worry, though, Mr. Green Jeans “pays” for carbon offsets. What this means is that those who are responsible for high levels of CO2 emissions pay a levy that will go towards renewable energy sources. In the fantasy land that global warmists live in, this means that they are not only really concerned about the climate, they’re doing something to help. Of course, they’re not actually doing anything to reduce their usage, they’re just paying extra to make up for it.
If I pay extra for the excess energy I consume, am I really helping? I don’t know. If I offer to pay for something after I have been caught shoplifting it, have I committed a crime? I realize that voters returned control of Congress to the Democrats, but have we really become so dumbed down that we’re actually buying this complete and utter nonsense?
By the way, God has promised never again to destroy the world by water, which contrasts with alarmist views on rising ocean levels. I know whom I believe
