Goring our earth
From American Republic
Al Gore is killing the planet. An investigation in 2007 by the Tennessee Center for Policy Research found his 10,000-square-foot, 20-room mansion in Nashville consumes more electricity in a month than the average household does in a year, and it burns nearly $1,100 a month in natural gas.
Mr. Gore travels extensively, often in limos and private jets, to promote himself and the cockamamie global-warming theory, which Mother Nature has spent the last decade refuting by lowering the earth's average temperature by more than 1 F even as atmospheric levels of greenhouse-gas emissions have increased.
On the carbon-footprint scale, Mr. Gore's is Sasquatch. Now new research has found the average Google search produces about 7 grams of carbon dioxide because of the power consumed by Google's data centers, which "are among the most energy-intensive facilities imaginable," said Evan Mill of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Warming, Inc.
Two Google searches, then, produce as much CO2 as boiling a kettle of water for a cup of tea, and 200 million Google searches performed daily generate as much greenhouse gas as all the world's airlines.
We blame Al Gore. After all, he invented the Internet.
