If I were the Brazilians, I’d say pay me to save the trees for you. What are they worth to you?

Al Gore’s energy consumption is not that much for a rich guy. They have a staff and each person uses energy. All by itself the data presented is meaningless. How does it compare to the energy usage of a home of similar size in the same climate?

You may have a good reason to drive a big truck. What Al Gore is saying is that we should require the auto industry to improve the mileage of that big truck so you can still do whatever you need to do without consuming as much energy. I don’t see any hypocrisy in that. The same goes for housing insulation, lighting and appliances.

I agree with Borat. The best way to save the planet is to limit the number of newborns. I’ve done my part. I have no kids.
