A funny item about enviromentalism

I took a quiz of Presidential Political Myths and found the answer to this question a bit ironic. "Al Gore's Nashville home uses considerably more energy than George W. Bush's Crawford ranch. True or False." Is the infamous proponent of global warming actually making more of a carbon print than the current president?. Drum role please. The answer: "the Gores' 10,000-square-foot home near Nashville, Tenn., uses about 12 times more energy than the typical home in that area, due in part to its size and to the fact that both Al and Tipper Gore also use the home as an office. In contrast, President George W. Bush's 4,000-square-foot ranch near Crawford, Texas, was designed by an architecture professor and incorporates a number of "green" building practices, such as geothermal heating, a rainwater cistern and wastewater recycling systems." I will let you ponder this one. This article here explains a little more about Al Gore's views when confronted by this seemingly contradictory life style.
