How? Gaius, are you saying that a person's carbon footprint matters less than the electricity he/she uses in the home? Wow. Gaius said:

Please, StoneStupid, show me anything remotely resembling a bulletproof computer model that, if you ask the script to throw this shtick in reverse–go back a mere 400 years to a randomly selected date, then tell me what the mean air temperature was at high noon in Philly that day–.

Scientific truth remains truth no matter who proclaims it. As for Al Gores home use, well if he and his wife are running an organization out of that home, then its not an average house is it? I'm sure that a car factory burns a lot more fuel than the the average home, but since it generates ecomonic activity and employs people, the tradeoff makes sense. Bottom line, AL Gores point is not : +Use as little energy as humanly possible rather it is: +Do as much as you can to reduce your carbon footprint Intelligent folk understand the distinction.Right wing hacks, not so much.
