Apparently even Al Gore doesnt buy into that global warming bullshit...

Because if he did, then certainly this wouldnt be happening:

Energy Guzzled by Al Gore’s Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month
Gore’s personal electricity consumption up 10%, despite “energy-efficient” home renovations

NASHVILLE - In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President’s home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.

“A man’s commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home,” said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. “Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption.”

In the past year, Gore’s home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.

In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore’s Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.

After the Tennessee Center for Policy Research exposed Gore’s massive home energy use, the former Vice President scurried to make his home more energy-efficient. Despite adding solar panels, installing a geothermal system, replacing existing light bulbs with more efficient models, and overhauling the home’s windows and ductwork, Gore now consumes more electricity than before the “green” overhaul.

Since taking steps to make his home more environmentally-friendly last June, Gore devours an average of 17,768 kWh per month –1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations – at a cost of $16,533. By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration.

In the wake of becoming the most well-known global warming alarmist, Gore won an Oscar, a Grammy and the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition, Gore saw his personal wealth increase by an estimated $100 million thanks largely to speaking fees and investments related to global warming hysteria.

“Actions speak louder than words, and Gore’s actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity,” Johnson said. “Gore is exploiting the public’s concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile.”

The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a Nashville-based free market think tank and watchdog organization, obtained information about Gore’s home energy use through a public records request to the Nashville Electric Service.

Should have done that a month ago bor.

But yeah Im starting to think something big is right around the corner. Bad like.

A lot of our analysts are freaking out. And theyre usually pretty optimistic people.

Also, apparently RBS thinks the S&P will drop to 1,000 after July.

Maybe I should move over solely into fixed income trading.

I moved 75% of one entire portfolio to fixed, I'm hoping it gets completed by end of day tomorrow.

I'll let another one float, I didn't like what I read out of Europe today, that could be the other shoe.

I rode it down once before, never again (I hope)

Most of my clients have been moved into defensive positions for a while now...mainly short and some intermediate term...staying away from government and corporate debt.

I personally dont mind more risk in my own portfolio, but it just happens that I have been selling off the majority of my equity for the past 4 months or so.

I was thinking about buying back in when the Dow hit 12k (which was today...duh) but Im holding off. Probably for a while.

Typical liberal attitude -- They'll tell you what you "should" do then do whatever they please when it comes to their own behavior.
