[QUOTE=piney;2590143]the porblem is, I have never seen Gore make any demands like you so dramatically point out. I see him saying that the population, as a whole, must do what they can to reverse the tide, but I have not seen one thing (and I have seen his movie) that supports your claim of his demanding people to change their lifestyle.

He has given tips on how everyday americans can adjust their lifestyle to help aid the cause of global warming, I mean, that list of things that runs down the screen aren't demands, they are suggesttions.

He has tried to be forceful in how governments can change things, that may be where his demand is, but not everyday people.

Mind you, I do not believe in his "doom and gloom" prediction at all...I believe in finding alt sources and cutting down on energy consumption in order to save money..that is it....

I just find it funny how someone somewhere said Gore commanded his subjects to use on sheet of toilet paper, yet he lives in the lap of luxary running his own personal energy grid....

I don't mind the criticism, but lets not blow things out of proportion....[/QUOTE]no one takes al gore seriously anymore but i do agree that we need to conserve and cut all types of pollution,finding alt sources is a nessecity....toilet paper lord...ha ha ha ...

[QUOTE=Batmans A Scientist;2589817]I'm liberal but I totally disagree. Gore should be going out of his way to make his house as earth friendly as possible, solar panels, wind power, generate his own power, whatever. He set himself up for this attack and only has himself to blame.[/QUOTE]

he is........for his homes size he uses less energy than the average home of equal size

[QUOTE=piney;2589685]house to house is exactly what this article was focusing on..

and the fact remains...if Al Gore decided to live in a smaller home and use less energy, would it have any impact at all?

not really...so if he takes steps to limit his own consumption from what it could be compared to someone with a comparable lifestyle and he can influence more people like that to make the same adjustments..isn't that better?

I mean, Gore could limit his own consumption by 80% by doing something no other wealthy person would do, which is live modestly, or he could limit his consumption by 15% and influence 1000 other wealthy people to do the same thing...therefore a larger net energy savings is achieved...

so I think house to house is not irrelevant, unless Gore has made no effort in making his own home more energy efficient.[/QUOTE]

House to house is what the title mentions. The article compares households. Gore has an extremely irresponsible household compared to the average household.
