As a believer:
- that human-caused global warming is a moral, ethical, and spiritual issue affecting our survival;
- that home energy use is a key component of overall energy use;
- that reducing my fossil fuel-based home energy usage will lead to lower greenhouse gas emissions; and
- that leaders on moral issues should lead by example;
- I pledge to consume no more energy for use in my residence than the average American household by March 21, 2008.
Al Gore refused to take this pledge on the floor of the Environment and Public Works Comittee hearing.
I hate to pound on Al Gore… but when someone who is on one hand warning that the earth will be over as we know it and on the other hand refusing to take the steps necessary to stop the problem that he claims the “rest of us” need to take… one can’t help but point out the utter hypocrisy
