That it's a scam and Al Gore is a con man. If you believe anything other than that, you are a complete and utter moron. The people pushing this Global Warming scam the hardest, even up to the stupid celebrities, are wealthy people who have huge carbon footprints.

"Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a house in secluded Montecito to their real estate holdings.
The couple spent ,875,000 on a gated ocean-view villa on 1 1/2 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, according to real estate sources familiar with the deal. The Italian-style house has high ceilings with beams in the public rooms, a family room, a wine cellar, terraces, six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms in more than 6,500 square feet of living space."

Because he's an idiot, not a scientist.
His worry over global warming is right and real, but he's a dick, so I wish he'd shut up about it. He's making the job of real scientists much harder.

I guess those rising sea levels of which Gore cries havoc is not so inconvenient a truth to dissuade him from buying oceanfront.

Why do the “moderate” non-Deniers have a compulsion to be unfair to Gore?
Question by Paul's Alias 2: Why do the "moderate" non-Deniers have a compulsion to be unfair to Gore?
Other than Inhofe, Al Gore is the politician most attached by non-Deniers. I see them say things like Gore is only in it for the money (a bogus claim since Gore does not keep any of the global warming money), that he is just a washed up politician (it's his fault that the Supreme Court stole the election?) that he is a bad boy because he did nothing while in power (he never was in "power"--vice presidents have little power) and that he is a hypocrite for buying a big house in Montecito (buying that second house actually would reduce his energy consumption--no one uses air conditioning in Montecito , and rarely does one use heating--air conditioning a gigantic house does not use more energy than air conditiong a snall one if you do not use air conditioning), and that Gore is not a scientist (he, in my opinion, is far more of a scientist than Michael Mann who the "moderates slobber over--I once had a converstation with Mann, not initially knowing who he was, and I kept gettinhg frustrated, having to tell him "Just take this to any physicist and ask him if this is correct").
Can anyone cite me an example of a moderate saying anything nice about Gore? I, in fact know of two recent examples of "moderate" non-deniers praising Lindzen,who truly is a kook (besdes his global warming crap he also denies the Surgeon General's claims about smoking).
<
He makes NO money off global warming. No matter how often I explain that he gives all that money away you guys just keep repeating the discredited claim.
In testimony under oath before Congress he said he gives all the money away. If there was any actual proof for your claims, he would be in jail for perjury. And it is not as if certain people would not have been spending lots of time looking for proof.
<< hence questions.>>
You guys have "questions" about ANYONE who supports the science. Is there anyone you guys have not attacked?
<
You people "pick holes" in valid theories. For example, in the past, you guys would "pick holes" in the Theory of Relativity. You would refer to it as "Jew Science" and claim it was a conspiracy by the Jews, and now you claim global warming is "Junk Science" and is a conspiracy by the liberals.
Here is stuff about the earlier efforts by you guys to discredit valid science because it was associated with people you were prejudiced against:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Physik
<
No matter how often you prove to them that the claim is totally wrong, they just repeat the false claim....exactly like I said they would continue doing!!!!!
<
Again, no concern at all for the truth.
Prove your claim.
<
They always say this...and then I point out that he gices away ALL the money he gets from Kleiner Perkins.
And then they just keep repeating the discredited claim.
<
WEell Bob, either you do not read all the answrrs here or you do not have a great memory, because both were said by NON-deniers.
I believe the claim that Gore did it for the money was made by antarticice.
< and only occasionally seen them call Gore a hypocrite (truly awful rebuttal of this point, by the way).>>
Let me explain it again, and hopefully you can get it this time.
One of the "moderates" claimed Gore was as hypocrite for buying a big house in Montecito. But the physics of the situation is that a house being big dioes not magically mkake it use up power. If you are trying to articially keep a house colder than the outside then indeed the electrical poweer needed is roughly proportional to the surface area, but if you do not have an air conditioner in the house (no one in Montecito does) the area does not matter. A similar situation regarding heating.
Ask a physicist to explaimn this to you.
<< Whether or not Gore is a scientist isn't really in debate -- he isn't one, obviously.
>>
My point was that in my opinion Gore is a better scientist than Michael Mann.
Have you ever had a conversation with Michael the Great?
<
Bob, after untactfully tells me I do not understand what tact is, he tells me that it is tactful to attack Gore, indicating in a very literal way that he does not know the actual definition of the word.
<
Good move--I'm sure you will have Rush Limbaugh convinced any day now.
<
How is your strategy working? You and the other moderates have been aggressively doing that. Have you convinced the Deniers?
<>
I'm not trying to convince people here on the board.
<< Whose strategy is more likely to win people over>>
I'm sure mine has worked better than yours.
<<*No-one* in Montecito has air-conditioning? Is that some sort of city ordinance?>>
Here is another shocker for you--no one in Antarctica has air conditioning. Do you think that is so because of some law?

Answer by napoleon
The problem with Gore is 2 fold, firstly his business interests go hand in hand with "Climate Issues" hence vested interest, hence questions. Secondly when you begin to ask questions of his flagship film "inconvenient truth" you can pick holes in it.
Put the 2 together and you can easily come up with the word corrupt
Just read your edit, are you aware of making money through association? If you've ever wondered why celebrities put themselves on reality shows which degrade them?
Why they endure humiliation and lose any dignity for negligible fees?
By highlighting their profile other cash projects hopefully come in, I think you're naive if you don't think Al Gore has'nt earned a penny this way regardless of his frontline earnings.
You know nothing about me so the rest of your rant on a personal basis is conjecture, you just need to be told you're wrong.

Question by L.T.M.: Isn't Albert Gore a lot like Mother Teresa?
Just look at the similarities. The late Mother Teresa walked the talk and shunned extravagances, living a simple basic life while dedicating herself to helping the poor.
Then think of Mr Gore's lifestyle. Here's just the latest of his many sacrifices for the cause of Climate Change.. or Global Warming... or whatever he's calling it this month.

Q&A: Al Gore Montecito home – Is 8 mil enough to buy a ‘beach front’ estate/villa in CA or could this be a rumor?
Question by blphnx: Al Gore Montecito home - Is 8 mil enough to buy a 'beach front' estate/villa in CA or could this be a rumor?
Al Gore Montecito home - Is 8 mil enough to buy a 'beach front' estate/villa in CA or is this a rumor?
Just looking to confirm this... and maybe to get a more accurate idea where this home is, my research only got me as far as you see below...
Reason for the question... I've been hearing pundits on the radio and blogs and other stories circulating the past few days that Al Gore allegedly purchased a huge home on a beach just recently.
Reason I'm asking if this could just be a rumor, does it make sense why would "Mr. Global Warming" would be buying a mansion 'on a beach' of all places, considering his stance against Global Warming and his warming about alleged expected rising sea levels?
Not going to even try and defend him on his decision if that is true... but just trying to makes sense of this new buzz going around... I feel my question is a legitimate one because if you looked into real estate in the area [1] the L.A. Times reported he bought a home, 8 mil actually is below average for a 'mansion' first of all, let alone "1.5 acre beach front" property... so what's the story here??
I can completely understand the criticism against him (beach property, preaching rising oceans, etc... would be very hypocritical if true wouldn't it?), certainly not good PR for the Al Gore Co... but again, the reason I find this hard to even believe... is because from my research, 8 million does not even come close to affording you beach front property in Montecito, CA... look at this image for a realistic property in that price range in this area...[1]
Also, exactly 'where' is important... because the Montecito 'region' includes elevation as high as 3,000 feet (google Montecito Peak)... the entire region has a mountain range behind it, so saying a home has "ocean view" isn't saying much... (very deceptive depending on who is telling the tale) [2]
And so, I ask again, is it not fair to conclude that he must NOT have 'beach front' property... but rather, he just moved out of his 7 million dollar downtown San Francisco high-rise condo, to a 7 million dollar house near Santa Barbara instead, that evidently is 'elevated' enough that it has an 'ocean view'... and likely, his view looks something like this... [3] (see this actual 'ocean view' seen from Mount Calvary Road, Montecito, California... consider the difference between what can be perceived as 'ocean view' to that of 'beach front property')????
What is the truth here, did he buy a house on the beach, which would make him an idiot and a hypocrite, or did he buy a house which likely is elevated and has an ocean view (from a 'safe' distance... ocean rising-wise)??
So anyone with thoughts on this so to help me clear up what is the deal... it would be nice if someone knew actually what Al Gore bought and where... like I said though, I doubt these rumors a mansion with "beach front" property is accurate (or if it is even possible, for that price) but I'm at the mercy of the media and bloggers still until someone offers some real facts...
My personal feeling... If his house IS literally on the beach like so many people are feeding us, including folks on Y/A and blog sites, social media sites, etc... keep spreading... then Al Gore DESERVES any criticism he gets for it... otherwise, it is a useless, inaccurate rumor that should away (but probably never will, will it?)

Answer by Dana1981
The exact same issue was brought up a few months ago after Gore bought property in San Francisco. The wording was similar - something about bayside view or property or something. I found an address for the property in question, looked it up, and it was 26 feet above sea level and 700 feet from the bay.
Here's the thing - even under a business-as-usual scenario, sea level is only projected to rise about 1 meter by the year 2100. Plus I'm pretty sure Al Gore isn't planning to live another 90 years. So in the short-term, sea level rise isn't a significant concern except for those living right around sea level.
