Al Gore's Private Jet
"A Guy Called Tyketto" wrote in message et... Umm.. Al flies commercial when he can, and when he can't, charters jets and offsets the use of those by buying carbon credits. Info for that is at his blog and at http://digg.com/politics/Al_Gore_s_Inconvenient_Truth . Who does he buy the carbon credits from? |

Check this out on Gore http://www.snopes.com/politics/bush/house.asp Nice Snopes article about the Gore's 10,000 sqft house and the 4000 sqft house at the Bush's Crawford "ranch", with the ground-water heat pump system (very nifty indeed if you can sink a reasonable-depth well next to your house... I'm jealous). Question, though. Do you really think the President, the First Lady, the President's security detail, the First Lady's security detail, the President's staff, the First Lady's staff, *and* Barney would all fit in a 4000 sqft house, all at the same time during the workday? Nope, they don't. The Bushes actually have a small compound at Crawford, with one or two extra houses, staff trailers, etc., etc. All proper and fitting for the POTUS, but hardly just the modest 4000 sqft ranch house described in the Snopes article. :-) The Gore's, on the other hand, really do fit themselves, their security (they don't use much) and their respective staff inside their one house. A big-ass house, to be sure! The Bush's Crawford compound (just so this post is not *completely* aviation free, there are multiple Marine One shots here): http://cryptome.org/bush-ranch.htm The Gore's Tennessee residence: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showthrea...?Number=543435 -Jay- |

The CO2 that is currently at 380ppm but has been at 3000ppm for most of the history of life on the planet? The same CO2 that at 1000ppm stimulates plants to grow 50% faster than they do at 380ppm? The same CO2 that is a minor greenhouse gas when compared with water vapor, which is the dominant greenhouse gas and absorber of infra-red radiation? The same CO2 that you emit every time you exhale? The same CO2 that is the primary source of carbon for carbon based lifeforms on this planet? The same CO2 that has to be in excess of 5000ppm to pose a respiritory problem for animals and humans? You talk about CO2 like it is some form of pollution, rather than a key component of life on this planet. Hmmm, maybe in addition to restricting CO2 emissions, we should restriction H20 vapor emissions, the biggest greenhouse gas.

The whole global warming thing in my opinion is a hoax. Even if it was true
there is nothing you can do about it. Oil will run out way before we overheat. People like Gore will make a living off the hoax. |
