Facts That The Gores Live Green

This post is the first of more to come as more informationbecomes available. This information was obtained through the CommunicationsDirector of the Office of Al Gore and Mrs. Tipper Gore.

Global Warming information is readily available and will bepart of future posts, but this is directed towards the people that can notsay Al Gore without following it up with the word Hypocrite.

As of April 1, the city of Belle Meade (the city withinthe city of Nashville) made it legal for the Gores to put solar panels on theirhouse. We are just waiting for the zoning commission to OK their specificplan now.

Former Vice President and Tipper Gore have worked for thirty years to try tosolve the climate crisis. Their efforts include:

24 years of public service including Former Vice President Goreâ€™s work tofind agreement on the Kyoto Protocol, the global warming treaty, which mandatescuts in global warming pollution.

Helping to create the Academy Award winning documentary film and writing thecompanion book â€œAn Inconvenient Truthâ€ which has educated millions ofAmericans, as well as people around the world. The Gores donated all oftheir profits from these efforts to a new non-profit organization, the Alliancefor Climate Protection, to continue their educational mission about globalwarming.

Giving the slideshow, which serves as the basis for the book and film, over1,000 times in the U.S. and around the world.

Helping to establish and serving as the lead trainer for The Climate Project, anon-profit organization that already has trained 1,000 people in the U.S. andoverseas on the slideshow that serves as the basis for â€œAn InconvenientTruth.â€ The trainees agree to give the slideshow in their respectivecommunities to help educate people about the climate crisis. Mrs. Goresells her photography through Mitchell Gold Bob Williams with all proceedsgoing to fund The Climate Project.

Donating more than $1 million to non-profit organizations dedicated to climatechange awareness efforts.

Establishing two new companiesâ€”Current TV and Generation InvestmentManagementâ€”both of which are carbon neutral.

In addition, the Gores take many steps in their own life to reduce their carbonfootprint. These include:

-Owning and driving hybrid-electric vehicles
-Purchasing green power (solar, wind, and methane gas through the local utility)to power their home.
-Undertaking a complete home renovation to retrofit their residence and homeoffices to become more energy efficient. This has involved: installing newfloor radiant heating and solar venting systems, new efficient furnaces andwindows, thermostats, and light switches as well as compact fluorescent bulbs,and solar panels. This renovation is scheduled to be completed by May2007.
-Living a carbon neutral life.

**What does it mean to live carbon neutral? The Goreâ€™s participate in a carbonneutral program whereby offsets are purchased with organizations that work toreduce carbon emissions through renewable energy initiatives, such as thedevelopment of solar and wind power. These carbon-offset purchases are evaluatedby a third-party firm to ensure that the Gores have effectively neutralized theimpact of their own carbon emissions.

After all the Gore's do in order to live"Green", anyone that continues to call them hypocrites, either haveinvestments where admitting Global Warming exists would hurt themfinancially, they extremely dislike the Gore's, or they are simplyignorant.

What seems to be night after night, Sean Hannitygrills his guests on Gore and whether he is a hypocrite or not, and usually getsto his "yes or no" bullying. In the following videos (there are manymore) even guests that disagree with everything Gore says or stands for, refuseto agree with Hannity that he is a hypocrite. When he does have someone"bad-mouth" Gore, it's usually a made up sarcastic remark. Hannitywill often run the names of people that oppose Global Warming on the crawl.
