Environmental Hypocrite Expands Carbon Footprint
According to the LA Times, one of America’s chief environmental hypocrites, Al Gore, recently expanded his already enormous personal carbon footprint with a new villa in the Montecito, California-area. From the Times:
The couple [Al and Tipper Gore] spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
So does this mean Al Gore doesn’t actually believe his own warnings about rising sea levels, which would presumably put his villa in danger of being underwater someday? Or is this actually clever speculation by Gore that it won’t be long until his ocean-view villa is actually an ocean-front villa?
Whatever the case, just keep in mind that this is the guy who won an Oscar for asking the rest of us if we are ready to change the way we live. You first, Al.
