Al Gore: Environmental Hypocrite? Nooooo...

I know you'll all be shocked and surprised by this one: It seems that Al Gore is an green hypocrite.

It seems to be an "inconvenient truth" that Gore's household uses 20 times the amount of electricity of the average American household, consuming 221,000 kilowatt-hours last year alone, as opposed to the latters consumption of about 10,656 kwh per year.

Gore's average monthly power bill is $1,359. My household of five in a very modest-sized home generates an average of around $100-$110 monthly.

Yet, Gore describes his household's lifestyle as "carbon neutral." He "offsets" his use by purchasing CO2 reductions elsewhere in the world!

Paying for forgiveness of your sins rather than practicing what you preach, Al? That sounds rather like "special dispensation" to me!

You can calculate your own "carbon footprint" here, and then spend your guilt away by purchasing your very own special dispensation right here.

Oh, and don't forget to replace your evil incandescent lights with fluorescent light bulbs.
Al gore says it's our "moral responsibility." Unless, of course, you're too special to practice what you preach...
