Gore: Lighting candles while cursing the light
posted at 10:54 am on March 30, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
The proverb instructs us that we do better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness. But what if one is making a killing at praising the darkness? Would it not be better for that person to extinguish a single candle instead? Al Gore didn’t do either on Curse the Light Earth Hour, in yet another show of environmental hypocrisy:
Do as I say, not as I do? Seems like former Vice-President Al Gore may be embracing that motto as evidenced Saturday night with the environmentalist’s failure to turn off the lights of his Nashville home for “Earth Hour.”
Drew Johnson, president of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research —the same organization that also found Gore’s home consumes 20 times more electricity than the average household — told Yeas & Nays that Gore’s Belle Meade-section mansion did not go dark during the global campaign’s designated hour between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m.
Johnson did admit that although it wasn’t as bright as can be, Gore did have on “a dozen or so” floodlights on his trees, a light shining on his address number, and a noticeable “bluish glow” from his powered-on televisions and computers coming from inside his house.
“It was very noticeable compared to the fact that even the streetlights on his street were off for the hour,” Johnson said. He also added how ironic it was that Nashville was one of the “official” U.S. cities of “Earth Day.”
I wonder whether the other Earth Hour celebrants are now cringing in fear that Mother Gaia did not get fully appeased by their sacrifice this weekend. The cult of nature worship lost one of its chief priests! Quick, find an SUV for a burnt offering!
It doesn’t appear that Gore even attempted to cut back. Why does Gore need floodlights for his trees? I mean, for any day, let alone during Earth Hour? A man who makes sure his trees get enough light should hardly scold people on energy usage for such frivolities as heat and food refrigeration. Maybe Gore will buy enough carbon credits to offset the tree lights and the TV. Of course, since he owns the trading firm, he’s paying it to himself.
What did you do for Earth Hour? I watched a new DVD set of The Tudors, featuring a time when hypocrisy limited itself to launching a new religion in order to get a trophy wife.
Update: Al Gore responds by denying everything, while saying that “no family is perfect”.

I celebrated Earth Hour by putting on every light on I could find, and worked on my iMac which has about 15 miscellaneous plugs sucking off of one outlet, lights a blinking. (It looks like the the clusterf*ck of cords behind the tree in A Christmas Story. “A brief whiff of ozone…”)
Good times. Good times.
ErinF on March 30, 2009 at 10:58 AM
If you buy carbon offsets for everything, you can do whatever you want, right?
That’s how many celebs, likely including Gore, look at their energy consumption. But the truth is that at SOME point, they should be endeavoring to use less, if that’s what they believe is needed to “save the planet”.
BTW – consider for a moment, whether we’re really trying to “save the planet”, or are we trying to save humanity? I’m sure the big rock would exist without us, and it’s also certain that life, of some sort, would thrive on a warmer planet with higher oceans. So is reducing climate change really the best policy for the most animals?

Can’t this jerk get a part-time job somewhere? Maybe Walmart to keep him out of trouble………? I mean he’s worse than Obama’s Auntie collecting her free rent, free medical care, Food Stamps and free lawyers………

The fact that some even take this bungling buffoon seriously speaks volumes about the sad state of this nation.

Al Goreleone cut his electrical usage to equal his output from his solar panels, wind mills, and his flatulence to electricity conversion device.
WashJeff on March 30, 2009 at 11:02 AM
That is the most awesome-est photo ever taken of anybody. Ever!

Al Gore reminds me of this guy…
Except Gore doesn’t seem to have as much common sense. But the accents match.
ErinF on March 30, 2009 at 11:03 AM
We had a monster blizzard over the weekend. Saved a lot of electricity by having the electric power go out.
Actually it went out this morning for an hour also.
I am sure solar panels are faithfull power at night.
seven on March 30, 2009 at 11:03 AM
I really just cannot wait for this Global Warming crap to go away.
amkun on March 30, 2009 at 11:04 AM
I flicked on every light, had a load of laundry in the washing machine and another in the dryer, was processing a 3 gig video file on my gaming PC, late supper using the oven and three of the stove top elements. My XBox 360 and my PS3 were both on and downloading game demos for the hour, the 52″ TV was playing last week’s 24 from the PVR.
Amazing how much crap you can get done in one hour when you put your mind to it!!
I will celebrate Human Achievement Hour again next year for sure!
Jim708 on March 30, 2009 at 11:04 AM
I’m glad he left the lights on. The Earth is cooling! We MUST do all we can to Stop Global Cooling Now! CO2 is 0.03% of the atmosphere. Judging from the cold weather the last couple of years, that is clearly not nearly enough!
Ordinary1 on March 30, 2009 at 11:05 AM
Earth Hour is a non-event. I refuse to acknowledge it, by turning lights on or off.
connertown on March 30, 2009 at 11:05 AM
Earth hour?
I watched a 1945 newreel showing the executions of Mussolini and his mistress by Italian partisans. It was described at the time as “the first conspicuous demonstration of mob violence carried out by the partisans who until now have been kept under control by their leaders.”
there it is on March 30, 2009 at 11:06 AM
Fortunately I was able to buy carbon credits from my wife while she bought credits from me, so it all worked out in the end and I can feel good about saving the planet from you destroyers.
Bishop on March 30, 2009 at 11:06 AM
hahaha What a hypocrite is right. Lights on his trees? For goodness sake…
I also turned on every darn light I had…and my town apparently did too.
becki51758 on March 30, 2009 at 11:07 AM
I turned on all of my lights, watched Rescue Dawn on Blu-Ray with my 46″ plasma television, opened all of the blinds, and glanced at the partial-primitives’ (for the hour) windows in the other apartments in downtown Cinci. Not everyone participated in
EarthDamn-The-Electricity Hour. I can’t say whether they were participating in Human Achievement Hour though.threeCents on March 30, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Sat in front of a giant HD screen watching GPS blips move across the map as 55,000 gallon fuel trucks raced to save the economy from Barry & The Crew.
Limerick on March 30, 2009 at 11:08 AM
It’s ok, Gore bought some carbon credits…Now let me see where I placed those trees I promised to plant in his name.
I luv going green…in my wallet.
jbh45 on March 30, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Al Gore: “There was no controlling electricity authority.”
Physics Geek on March 30, 2009 at 11:08 AM
Why floodlights on trees?
Trees realease CO2 at night. By keeping the lights on the Father Nature Gore is fooling them into realeasing O2 instead of CO2, by thinking it is daytime.
Of course when the tree dies, it releases CO2, as do the leaves that have fallen.
If only these idiots knew the slightest bit of science.
Me? I think the power companies should pull an “Earth Hour” every now and then at random – just shut the juice off at some un announced time, and then claim they are saving the world.
Wander on March 30, 2009 at 11:11 AM
And in doing so, increased his profits since he owns the carbon credits company. Yeah, that sounds ethical.
ErinF on March 30, 2009 at 11:11 AM
Gore’s an idiot. He should know that bozos are gonna camp out and watch his house during earth hour hoping for a gotcha.
Dave Rywall on March 30, 2009 at 11:12 AM
Tell me when it was and I’ll tell you what I was doing.
CDeb on March 30, 2009 at 11:12 AM
Carbon offsets are in limited supply. Let’s face it, there are only so many trees that can be planted. So when Gore et. al. buy them to offset their profligate lifestyles, then there are that many less for the hoi poloi to buy.
Besides, if they truely believed the garbage they are preaching, they should be cutting back, and paying for trees to be planted. Or don’t they believe in putting their own lifestyles where their mouths are?
MarkTheGreat on March 30, 2009 at 11:13 AM
Gore replies to charges that his lights were on by saying he has solar and geothermal power.
But the point of the event was to use darkened buildings to dramatically emphasize energy-saving as a way to save the planet. The method for showing common cause was turning out your lights.
If that was the point, then Gore seems to have missed it.
hawksruleva on March 30, 2009 at 11:13 AM
OMG, he’s going to swallow the Sun! At least now those poor penguins will be able to see…
bookman on March 30, 2009 at 11:14 AM
And to think that we could have saved the planet if only Al Gore would have turned off his lights. Oh well, I guess we may as well forget the whole environmental thing…. lets party!! Oh, and thanks Al.
Maxx on March 30, 2009 at 11:15 AM
I did everything as usual.
I’d probably have flipped on a few extra lights if I’d thought of it, though.
eforhan on March 30, 2009 at 11:15 AM
Ed,
King Henry was able to start the Anglican Church due to the many errors and false historical claims of the Roman Catholic Church.
I gave you an indulgence on the Notre Dame post, rather than join the Obama trolls. Thanks for the gratuitous insult that ignores the historical context.
Right_of_Attila on March 30, 2009 at 11:16 AM
My wife and I sat in our hovel with every light on, she was watching ice skating on my 1999 Panasonic Panavison flat screen CRT( can we say energy eater?) , while I was in my office blasting Stevie Ray Vaughn on my system, with computer going like crazy, washing machine going, out side porch lights on as well as back yard security lights. My neighborhood succumbed to Gaia and my effect was even grander than I hoped…

Jim708 on March 30, 2009 at 11:17 AM
For earth hour, I turned on every light, lit candles, turned on everything electrical in the house, idled the car for 60 minutes for no reason and cooled on the barbeque. With the heat turned up all the way.
I figure I countered about 10 of the evironazis.
sonofdy on March 30, 2009 at 11:18 AM
Al Gore didn’t participate in Earth Hour, but he was a leader of Hypocrisy Hour.
Someone needs to remind the politicians that when everyone is destitute from their expensive energy policies and punitive taxes no one will be able to give to their precious causes.
zmdavid on March 30, 2009 at 11:18 AM
cooled = cooked.
sonofdy on March 30, 2009 at 11:19 AM
I’ve been saying for years that the true purpose behind this AGW stuff is not to save the planet, but to save it for the self annointed elite.
Tired of sitting in traffic for hours? Then just make cars and gas to expensive for the average person to afford, that will force them into mass transit and leave the roads to you and your friends.
Tired of having all the best vacation spots over crowded by the smelly masses. Then outlaw air travel. Bingo, wide open beaches without a common man in sight, just the way you and your friends like it.
Want a house in the country, but are tired of looking at everyone else’s vacation home at the same time. Just raise taxes on energy to the point that people can barely afford one home, much less a vacation home. Instant wilderness for you and your friends to enjoy.
MarkTheGreat on March 30, 2009 at 11:20 AM
Ha!! That will be the day. The Goracle is making megabucks by selling fear.

carbon_footprint on March 30, 2009 at 11:20 AM
What did I do for Earth Hour?
For starters, I exhaled, which is supposed to be bad. Then I watched Earth on Discovery HD. They had all these amazing stories about how life flourishes in even the most hostile environments.
But that has nothing to do with climate change, sorry.
hawksruleva on March 30, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Yeah Dammit, how are we going to keep fooling the masses if our own leaders don’t play the game.
This has as much effect on the environment as throwing a bake-sale to reduce the deficit. And what idiots would try something like that?
hawkdriver on March 30, 2009 at 11:22 AM
What we have here is failure to avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
unclesmrgol on March 30, 2009 at 11:22 AM
I turned on all the lights in my house but, feeling that wasn’t a grand enough gesture, I decided to up the ante.
I left the car idling in the driveway, poured a tumbler of scotch (I wonder what the carbon footprint of that bottle is…), lit a Macanudo (ditto), and snacked high on the food chain (sorry Bambi) while I watched AMA motorcycle racing (carbon guilt by association) on my big screen with the sound needlessy pumped through the full audio system, rather than the ones in the TV (I’m a consumer whore to boot).
The joke was perhaps on me. You see, the extra lights seem to have generated anough heat that my furnace didn’t kick in as often as usual. Next year, I open some windows.
landshark on March 30, 2009 at 11:24 AM
What did I do for Earth Hour?
Turned on every light in the house (not the basement thou) and ran a pre-war Lionel 1666 around a loop for a while.
Shoulda run a postwar smoker!

Maybe they could make it a pork BBQ. But I would not eat Nancy Pelosi’s ham.

Jamson64 on March 30, 2009 at 11:25 AM
Every light,computer and television in my house was on(hubby got me a huge new flat screen for Christmas), and I was doing laundry. One thing about this Earth hour,it sure gave me the stimulus I needed to stop procrastinating about laundry…Every throw rug and throw blanket in my house is now done-Thanks to “earth hour” my spring cleaning is done.

Let me be clear about my position: Earth Hour is fu*king moronic.
Give people useful incentives to change their behaviour (low flush toilet rebates, light bulb incentives, cheaper power in the middle of the night etc etc) and spare me the candle light Kumbaya wankfest that is Earth Hour.
Dave Rywall on March 30, 2009 at 11:28 AM
I turned out my lights and turned my heat off. But I got cold so I burned some styrofoam in the back yard for warmth. Happy Earth Hour!

To be honest I forgot it was Earth Hour, so we were out enjoying a nice dinner during the hour, and of course the restaurant had its lights on. But, since I felt cheated out of missing the celebrated worship to our guardian the Earth, once we arrived back at the house I immediately turned on all the lights and then the Wife and I proceeded to go out back and smoke a couple of cigars.
smfoushee on March 30, 2009 at 11:38 AM
Damn! I completely forgot about it. All I did was turn all the living room lights on, and watch a DVD with Mrs Crazy Legs on the LCD (while checking e-mail on the laptop). Had I remembered it was Earth Hour, I’d have gone upstairs and watched the Plasma, since it draws rediculous amounts of electricity. Also turn every light in the house on. And run the dryer for no reason.

For Earth Hour, I decided to go for a calming drive in my Escalade around the neighborhood for an hour, but I made sure to turn my headlights off to conserve energy. There are a lot more speedbumps than I remember…weird…
Proud Rino on March 30, 2009 at 11:42 AM
Is that a methane burp coming out of Gore? How many CO2 credits is that worth?
moonsbreath on March 30, 2009 at 11:45 AM
No, he’s a human carbon sink. More carbon in Gore, less carbon in the environment. Plus he would have to breathe more if he exercised and sweat is probably bad for the environment.

Con-men are smart enough to not buy into their own cons
TheBigOldDog on March 30, 2009 at 11:47 AM
Hour of no power increases emissions
…Unfortunately, this event – as with many public proposals on climate change – is an entirely symbolic gesture that creates the mistaken impression that there are easy, quick fixes to climate change…
Even if a billion people turn off their lights this Saturday, the entire event will be equivalent to switching off China’s emissions for six short seconds. In economic terms, the environmental and humanitarian benefits from the efforts of the entire developed world would add up to just $21,000…
And it gets worse: the event could cause higher overall pollution than if we just left our lights on. When asked to extinguish electricity, people turn to candlelight. Candles seem natural, but are almost 100 times less efficient than incandescent light globes, and more than 300 times less efficient than fluorescent lights. If you use one candle for each extinguished globe, you’re essentially not cutting CO2 at all, and with two candles you’ll emit more CO2. Moreover, candles produce indoor air pollution 10 to 100 times the level of pollution caused by all cars, industry and electricity production.
No wonder that even committed climate campaigners are sceptical. Clive Hamilton, author of Scorcher: The Dirty Politics of Climate Change, told The Sunday Age last week that “we are well past the time for feel-good exercises aimed at raising awareness. It’s like the band playing on as the Titanic sinks.”
He said there was a real danger that Earth Hour convinced people we were making progress on climate change when we were not. And it let business and government off the hook. …

And yeah that picture is the best!
You should use it everyday just to remind us why we supported Bush in 2000.
Followed closely by a picture of Obama… would help keep us in the GOP for the foreseeable future.

From Yahoo Buzz:
I bet they have a loose definition of success. I have a feeling it would have been successful no matter what. I clicked on their link prior and I turned most of my lights on.
Maybe it is time to find one of those green search engines. Yahoo and Google searches use far too much energy.

Del Dolemonte on March 30, 2009 at 12:04 PM
Yeah, floodlights on trees. People who have big houses have flood lights on trees. It’s pretty.
There was a photo a couple of years ago of Gore’s home office where he had 4 huge flat computer screens and 1 fat screen television.

I left all my lights on for Earth Hour, but when it was over, I threw myself down the stairs.

He also very, very badly needed a male heir and his current wife (so he thought) couldn’t give him one, and the Pope refused to grant him a divorce.
Henry’s father had risen to power by ending the Wars of the Roses, a bloody, bloody thirty-something year war of succession. Henry had every reason to believe that if he didn’t leave a male heir, the whole thing would could repeat itself or worse (See: France, 100 years war).
All that to say that there is a pretty good chance that Henry, by breaking with the Catholic church, was attempting, at least in part, to save his country.
29Victor on March 30, 2009 at 12:24 PM
The fact that Gore has credibility in this world tells you the state of public ignorance and how it is perpetuated by the world’s propaganda outlets that are vast and pervasive. It is too hard to learn real science and follow real arguments for most people so pseudo science and news tailored to the lowest common denominator prevail. Feeding the mob and promoting mass hysteria seems be the path of least resistance. The “Have- Nots” will never really accept why they “have not” too easy to be suspicious of the “Haves” more than enough bad actors here to prove the case.
rsl775 on March 30, 2009 at 12:25 PM
Hey, I got no grudge against Al Gore, he’s just makin’ his millions.
It’s the sheep that follow him that I have a problem with, the same people who would point fingers and laugh at followers of Jim and Tammy Baker are now in their shoes.
For Earth Hour I turned off all of the lights in my house and lit a Polar Bear on fire.
29Victor on March 30, 2009 at 12:29 PM
‘Earth Hour’ passed me by in a puff of blissfully ignorant ambivalence. I have no interest in mimicking the behavior of these retarded ‘environmentalist’ monkeys.
I saw some photos today of some gullible Aussies ‘celebrating’ by lighting candles – unaware that the CO2 output of a burning candle is far more than that required to power a lightbulb.
Stupid primates.

tnmama on March 30, 2009 at 12:30 PM
To be fair, didn’t Gore install solar panels for his home? His electricity usage may not cause any carbon emission.
Of course, Congress doesn’t care about such distinctions when they do things like ban incandescent bulbs for all, no matter what the source of electricity.
