I loved this bit;

2) Gore has had a consistent position of purchasing carbon offsets to offset the family’s carbon footprint — a concept the right-wing fails to understand.

So if US corporations buy enough carbon offsets then they're free to pollute at will? Can anyone explain the "carbon offset" concept to me? It sounds like if you're rich enough you can buy yourself a conscience and avoid having to practice what you preach.

Interesting that he doesn't dispute the numbers; he just tries a little misdirection instead. First, the solar panels and the compact fluorescent light bulbs will certainly make a difference -- but the TCPR report looks at his electricity bill, which still indicates (a) a high level of usage, and (b) an increase since the movie's release. Solar panels generate electricity at the location, which should then decrease the amount of power he's buying from the utility. If it's still going up, there seems to be a serious management problem somewhere.
