Thanks to Al Gore’s (D-Hollywood) Oscar win, which apparently required no recount, global warming is back in the headlines—but not always how the enviros want. There’s a damning look at Gore’s hypocrisy making the rounds:
---
In his documentary, the former Vice President calls on Americans to conserve energy by reducing electricity consumption at home.
The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy. In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.
Last August alone, Gore burned through 22,619 kWh—guzzling more than twice the electricity in one month than an average American family uses in an entire year. As a result of his energy consumption, Gore’s average monthly electric bill topped $1,359.
Since the release of An Inconvenient Truth, Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

Yeah, I know about Al’s carbon credits. Bah.
This week Hurricane Coulter touched down on the subject, as does Human Events. Dennis Prager’s blog has been keeping track of increasing scientific dissent from global warming, too.
Most notably, Sen. James Inhofe recently took the Left to task on everything from the phony scientific consensus to junk facts to the ever-alternating hysterias between warming and cooling. Ouch.
