Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe - Yahoo! News

Gore isn't quite as green as he's led the world to believe - Yahoo! News: "Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a 10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a 4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself."

Peter Schweizer's USA Today column isn't without merit, but to characterize the lifestyle changes Gore proposes as "extreme personal sacrifice" is a gross exaggeration.
