Inconvenient Truth: In a recent interview, Al Gore claimed that he lives a "carbon free lifestyle." The electricity bills for his home in Tennessee say otherwise.
CNN's Jake Tapper asked Gore to respond to charges that he's a climate hypocrite. "This is a criticism we hear from conservatives all the time when talking about people like you or Elon Musk or Leonardo DiCaprio," Tapper said, "that you, yourself, have a large carbon footprint."
Gore's response was "Well, I don't have a private jet. And what carbon emissions come from my trips on Southwest Airlines are offset. I live a carbon-free lifestyle, to the maximum extent possible."
The maximum extent possible? Really? Then how does Gore explain the rather large amounts of electricity he uses to power his 10,000-plus-square-f00t home.
A new analysis by the National Center for Public Policy Research found that Gore's Tennessee home "guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years."

Massive hypocrisy is a fanatical progressive liberal job requirement.
“And what carbon emissions come from my trips on Southwest Airlines are offset.”
Scam.
With a house that big AlBore has to have staff/servants/employees to run it for him.
How many?
Who are they?
Southwest Airlines? B.S.
This POS still has S.S. protection, he never flies commercial.
Vice Presidents lose SS protection six months after leaving office.
Gore would only fly commercial for PR. I believe he routinely travels by private jet.
The clown buys carbon offsets and claims he’s carbon neutral. The article describes carbon offset programs as “without scientific legitimacy” and “dangerously misleading.”
So they are just as valid as the whole climate change ruse.
It is 56 degrees here in AUGUST!!!!! (Illinois)
May have to turn on the heat.
Record setting cool weather is never reported. Only seasonally warm and hot.
Gore: “I use carbon offsets to live a carbon-free life.”
Me: “How do you do that? Who do you pay?”
Gore: “Simple. Watch. Here you go, Mr. McCarbofree.”
Gore, puts on fake mustache: “THANK-A YOU! THANK-A YOU VURRUH MUCH! YOUR CARBON IS NOW-A FREE!”
It was in the 40s in the heart of corn producing area in northern Iowa this AM.
The loudest cheerleaders for the “sky is falling” AGW are always the biggest users of CO2. That was always one of my first clues it was bogus. Climate Change/AGW has always been about control and money.
Some twitter tagline:
Algore - Global Warming: a convenient LIE. $$$
What about his other house in Montecito- near Santa Barbara, Calif??? It is over 6500 sq ft.
