lawrocket 3 #51 July 8, 2008 Why? Tell me how the amount of carbon a person is responsible for emitting is not relevant to his or her carbon footprint. Bill, I think, provide some fine explanations for his reasoning and logic. Rather than an ill-considered comment, he actually explained himself. You have made a couple of flippant comments to me without providing any foundation. It's conclusionary - as if you've been listening to Limbaugh too much. Professor - you are better than these one-liners. Explain to me - please. Haven't I demonstrated in the past that I will pay attention to the position sof those who disagree? My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You seem to have a hard-on for Al Gore and it overrides your reason. The whole concept of sustainability has been explained several times and you stubbornly ignore it.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcd11235 0 #53 July 9, 2008 QuoteIt's like partying by breaking a window, and then paying for it to be replaced. One should simply leave the window alone. A better analogy would be breaking one window, but paying for, not only its replacement, but also the replacement of the other broken window on the house. Sure, it sucks that the window was broken during the party, but the homeowner receives a net benefit.Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

lawrocket 3 #54 July 9, 2008 I know the concept of "sustainability." But let me point out what you wrote: Quote What is Gore's carbon footprint? He reportedly pays a large premium on his utility bills to get carbon-neutral energy. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3259904#3259904 I then explained how his carbon neutrality with his utility bills is in SERIOUS doubt. Then you wrote: Quote What is Gore's net carbon footprint? Lawrocket made a claim about carbon footprint, not about energy use, so I'd like to know the details. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3260068#3260068 And I explained that his footprint is likely massive. I also explained how I believe that the concept of "net carbon footprint" is license to waste, and that Gore's personal carbon usage would make for a good villain on Captain Planet. Compare Gore to Leonardo DiCaprio - a guy who walks the walk. p.s. - I could never get a hard-on from Al Gore. Fritz Mondale's daugther, on the other hand. Actually, the right hand.I will admit being thoroughly pissed off at the deceit. You made the error of bringing up his utility bills. Note that the Economist - not exactly a right-wing rag - found Gore's explanation of his home's waste to be utterly ridiculous. Note also that it took the airing of his home's waste to actually cause him to install some green technologies. Explain how he is paying himself for the "carbon credits." As I said, he's a brilliant entrepeneur. I will ABSOLUTELY give him that. Did you read my links? Right out there to see was that his company (for the carbon credits) is a venture capital group. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Likely", a weasel word if ever I saw one. Do you have data or not? Quote I also explained how I believe that the concept of "net carbon footprint" is license to waste, and that Gore's personal carbon usage would make for a good villain on Captain Planet. . You made statements to that effect, but you have provided NO evidence to support any of your supposed "explanations". A little algebra goes a long way....
