Stunning Pictures of Al Gore's New $9 Million Mansion Media Totally Ignored

By Noel Sheppard

Nobel Laureate Al Gore purchased a $9 million mansion in the luxurious hills of Montecito, California, recently, and with the exception of the Los Angeles Times and Fox News, America's media couldn't care less.

You think it might be because the Gore-loving press wouldn't want people to consider the possibility that all of his global warming hysteria was really about lining his wallet and not saving the planet?

Formulate a response to that question as you look at what all that money the former Vice President is making off of spreading this myth can buy (h/t Doug Ross [1]):

Sweet, wouldn't you say? (Readers are encouraged to view more pictures of this fabulous estate here [2].)

Certainly not bad for a guy who supposedly [3] was worth between one and two million dollars in 2000.

Were the "Always Fascinated by the Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" press interested?

Heck no.

According to LexisNexis, apart from the Los Angeles Times that broke [4] this story last Wednesday, and Fox News's Sean Hannity who spoke about this on consecutive nights last week, America's media were totally mum.

Why might that be?

You think Gore's adoring press don't want folks to know how much money he's making off this scam?

Before you answer THAT question, consider what the Nobel Laureate told [4] Congress last year as the House was deliberating cap-and-trade legislation:

AL GORE: Every penny that I have made, I have put right into a non-profit deal, Alliance For Climate Protection, to spread awareness of why we have to take on this challenge. And Congresswomen, if your, if, if you believe that the reason I have been working on this issue for 30 years is because of greed, you do not know me.

Now, imagine for a moment there were actually journalists still in America and not advocates pretending to be journalists.

A former Vice President who last year told a House committee he was putting all of his earnings into a non-profit company to "spread awareness of why we have to take on" global warming a year later buys a $9 million mansion with six fireplaces, five bedrooms, and nine bathrooms for him and his wife.

Don't you think SOMEBODY should have reported it other than Fox News, the LA Times, and conservative bloggers?

Where'd the money come from? Was this purchased by his non-profit corporation, and if so, how does he get away with that?

Did he sell some of his Google or Apple stock?

And how about some questions about how green the house is? Are there solar panels and windmills to power this facility? If not, what are their plans?

Forgetting all of that, if the Clintons, Bushes, or Cheneys bought such a place, do you think the media would cover it, at least as a human interest story?

For over three years, Gore's adoring press have followed virtually every move he's made since becoming the voice of global warming.

He buys a STUNNING villa as the unemployment rate stands at almost 10 percent and Americans are struggling to regain their footing after 2008's financial crisis, and the media are suddenly disinterested in him?

On exactly which planet, be it cooling or warming, does THAT make any sense?

Oprah spent $53,000,000.00 for her pad in Montecito, and that was before she started spending money on building her dream house number 7 there, so $9M doesn't get you much in that neighborhood. I'm speaking from experience as I have friends who live in the heart of Montecito.

But say, is it really your opinion that somebody who is concerned about the environment, such as Oprah or Mr. Gore, should not be living in a nice area, in a nice house, and drive a Lexus Hybrid, but instead live in a shitty tent or shed that sits in a crappy neighborhood and be riding a bicycle, even if they are a multi-millionaire or, in Oprah's case, a multi-billionaire?

So being environmentally conscious, recycling, protecting the ocean and nature are synonymous with poverty, freezing, and a crappy lifestyle, while wealthy people have to be wasteful and don't give a sh*t about anything?

Where does that come from? Is it the propaganda material you read, or is it possible that they have dropped you on the head when you were a baby?

Are you dense or what?

Huge houses consume more energy, they take more resources to built, they take more resources to furnish. They monopolize more land space which might other wise grow food or support forest.

You explain how given the same effort a huge house will consume less energy to build, furnish and operate?

I won't even get into your misunderstanding of global warming. But I will ask why you think this involves the U.S. taxpayers.

Global warming has been disproven? Really? By real scientists? Or is this more of the scientists who promote things like adam and eve riding around on dinosaurs?

many of the scientist that proclaimed it to be fact, can't answer why contrary data was excluded & many have done a 180 on the issue. carbon credits that he own & that we all get to buy. either directly or thru energy taxes.

it has been proven? scientist from india, china etc. don't seem too concerned. if its fact, then why cook the books?
