Al Gore is a creep. Period. Belle Meade is a gorgeous section of Nashville with homes the size of China. If he really believes his own meme he can move into something smaller, solar and get over himself. He’s a con man. Get it? Thanks for this.

Just found this:

Do as I say, not as I do? Seems like former Vice-President Al Gore may be embracing that motto as evidenced Saturday night with the environmentalist’s failure to turn off the lights of his Nashville home for “Earth Hour.”
Drew Johnson, president of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research —the same organization that also found Gore’s home consumes 20 times more electricity than the average household — told Yeas & Nays that Gore’s Belle Meade-section mansion did not go dark during the global campaign’s designated hour between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Johnson did admit that although it wasn’t as bright as can be, Gore did have on “a dozen or so” floodlights on his trees, a light shining on his address number, and a noticeable “bluish glow” from his powered-on televisions and computers coming from inside his house.
“It was very noticeable compared to the fact that even the streetlights on his street were off for the hour,” Johnson said. He also added how ironic it was that Nashville was one of the “official” U.S. cities of “Earth Day.”

Where do all of you people live that you already have turned your lights out or not? It isn’t quite 8:30 in PA and it isn’t even dark out yet.
My daughter is an anthropologist and she says that the climate on earth has changed drastically every 10,000 years (ice ages,etc.) and that we are at the very end of this 10,000 years. There is not much we can do about it.

This is a perfect explanation of a dream I had the other day. The guy down the street put his Christmas decorations back up in his front lawn. Man, was he ready to light it up !!!

If you’re eating Whole Foods organics thinking that you’re minimizing your impact on the earth, you’re probably doing less than you think. Just because those bananas were grown organically, doesn’t mean that they weren’t then shipped thousands of miles to get to you. Whole Foods is the corporate superstore in the organic world. They work within the letter of the law, mostly, but often not within the spirit of it. It’s feel-good organics.

If you really want to minimize your impact on the earth, locally grown organics would be a good start. If you live in a cold place like I do, though, it’s tough!!!

Sorry to say this, but, being needlessly in the dark is akin to being an 0bama supporter. I hope this doesn’t ruin your evening.

We had so much fun we went over the hour and didn’t even notice, till my grandchildren wanted to make smores. If I’d have thought about making smores we’d probably still be sitting around a little fire in the fire place and being silly.

Aww you cheated. We turned off everything. Made a little fire. My children and their spouses, children were here. We had a great time. We told stories and played charades with the children. The hour went really quick. I didn’t even think about making smores…

So I guess I’m the only person sitting in the dark with a dozen candles, drinking wine with my iBook and NQ. Quite pleasant, actually. I might do it past the mandated time. Cheese and crackers anyone?

Nothing happened to it, other than that it has slipped out of the media spotlight. Forests have been seriously impacted over most of Europe. The same is true of southwestern Canada. Forests in upstate New York have been very badly effected. Many lakes in all of those areas are so acidified they’re essentially dead. In Egypt, the sphinx is dissolving. Stonework and building fascades are being erroded throughout much of Europe and North America.
