Al Gore: Your new neighbor

Despite his environmental hysteria, Al Gore long has had one of the biggest “carbon footprints” of any mammal on the planet. A “carbon footprint” is how much carbon your existence spews into the environment.

Gore already owned a massive, 20-room, eight-bedroom mansion. Bloomberg Business Week reported: “In 2006, Gore devoured nearly 221,000 kWh—more than 20 times the national average.”

Now, Gore just bought another massive mansion, this time in Montecito, with a great view of the Pacific Ocean:

Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito-area property to their real estate holdings, reports the Montecito Journal.

The couple 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.

What a massive hypocrite. He lectures the rest of us on “An Inconvenient Truth,” his save-the-earth blather, but lives like a Rockefeller on steroids.

Where does Al get his moolah? He inherited a lot of it. But, according to the Daily Telegraph, he’s on track to become “the world’s first carbon billionaire”:

Last year Mr Gore’s venture capital firm loaned a small California firm $75m to develop energy-saving technology.

The company, Silver Spring Networks, produces hardware and software to make the electricity grid more efficient.

So, he gets massively wealthy on the government-perpetrated fraud of “global warming,” and lives in massive mansions, while you live in a hovel in a slum.

Update: An alert reader (see below) led me to make two changes:

First, I fixed the link referring to Gore’s new mansion; making it the article today I read, instead of another one.

Second, I corrected the definition of “carbon footprint.”
