Can we measure John McCain's carbon footprint?

[L. Coyote]

Somewhere between 7-20 houses, the jet(s), the Straight Talk Express (and any other motor homes?), ......

just how much energy does John McCain require each month, and what does it cost?

There's the issue of how that much energy impacts your price at the pump! :rofl:

1. He wants to relive the '60s in his ads(Ayers), so don't forget the napalm.

:evilgrin:

2. My friends, I've been wondering the same thing.

Private citizen Al Gore gets crucified for his big ass house in Nashville, and it's just one house. Unlease the dogs of carbon footprint war on the Great Maverick.

3. plus, don't forget the beer heiress ...

4. they sure love to look into every nook & cranny of al gore's energy consumption

5. Please remember to include the methane.

6. And the tree they used to carve his wooden Indian!

That's right, the Senator from AZ, a state with the highest number of Native Americans, owns a wooden Indian! How clueless is that????????

7. Real old school way of honoring the noble savage.

8. And selling cigars and prejudice.

I’d estimate it’s about 150 tons of carbon dioxide, some 10 times that of the average American. But someone should ask Senator McCain. After all, he says he wants to require all Americans to cut greenhouse gas emissions 60% to 70% by 2050.

As probably the whole country knows by now, John McCain does not know how many homes he owns. But the number seems to be between 7 and 12, depending on whether you count his Sedona ranch as one house or six.

Given how conservatives beat up Vice President Gore for the supposed energy excesses of his one Nashville home, I can’t wait until they start running TV ads attacking McCain’s climate hypocrisy. (Note to self: Don’t hold your breath.) After all, McCain fashions himself as a leader on global warming, just like Gore, but his combined homes have a considerably larger square footage than Gore’s — and thus presumably a much larger energy use. That said, the energy use of McCain’s homes is infinitely less relevant than their greenhouse gas emissions (see “GOP Attack on Gore Makes No Sense At All“).

So what is the carbon footprint of McCain’s countless homes? Here is a rough estimate. ...........
