The Inconvenient Truth About Al Gore
I got caught up on the news for this week. I saw the former Vice President Al Gore went back to Capitol Hill , to talk with America's politicians about Global Warming. Not surprising , a Republican showed his ass by interrupting Mr. Gore. His antics got him an interview by the news. My , he was sooo proud of himself. There's always someone who wants to ride his coattails , hoping some of his charisma would rub off onto them.
So , I decided to look at everyone's complaint towards the man and I found the real inconvient truth about Al Gore.
1 ) Al Gore uses 20% more electricity than others......Well of course he does. He has a house that is 20% larger than most people have.
2 ) He has used a lot of jet fuel globe trotting around the world.....Well , of course he has. No one else has gone to the trouble of compiling all this scientific knowledge , which he has brought forward. Mr. Gore used his own money , he did not beg for research grants.
3 ) Al Gore has done nothing to reduce his own impact on global warming.....Well , of course he has'nt. Mr. Gore is living with the technology that everyone of us has to use. Our technology is the cause of this planet's demise.
Note : Al Gore said he is waiting for the codes to change so he can legally place solar collectors on his house. Mr. Gore has to wait for city hall to get off it's complacient ass before he can do anything. In the meantime , he has told everyone , he has replaced his light bulbs with the new planet friendly light bulbs that save energy. AND , all the profits from his book are going to the fight on Global Warming.
Now , with this inconvient truth brought to light , how many people , who have run Al Gore into the ground , can say they have done something to reduce Global Warming ?
Speaking for myself , I'm replacing the light bulbs in a timely way , that my budget will allow. I also use the recycle bins. Butt , I see Franklin does'nt empty them very often. I have also planted trees where I can.
So , before you run Al Gore into the ground , what have YOU done to reduce Green House Gases ?
It needs to be cleared up that the only reason Bush went to Iraq is because of the oil, and that there are certain interests in the oil industry who don't want the automobile industry to start manufacturing Electric, Hydrogen, Ethanol and Bio-diesel cars even though the technology has been available for more than 20 years for each of those technologies.
We need to change the way we live. Our current ability would be to use solar power in everything. The world now has plenty of open space due to clear cutting of trees. This planet would benefit greatly from solar power. It does not pollute.
