And it reminded me, we went back to our archives&#8230; (interruption) What are you laughing at? This is not something funny, Snerdley. The separation is not funny. What\u2019s next is a little funny, \u2019cause I remember this from the archives. December 3rd, 2007, NewScientist.com: &#8216;A rising tide of divorce is taking a huge toll on the planet, warns a groundbreaking analysis of the environmental impact of divorce. The environmental cost of a marriage splitting occurs because couples and their families move into separate properties after divorce &#8211; meaning they collectively occupy more space, burn more energy, and consume more water than they did as a family unit.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Now, how does that work? I can understand two households adding to the electricity grid and so forth. But are they drinking more water than they would if they were living in one house? Well, they\u2019re still going to do the laundry at the other house. I mean, separate loads. This is all ridiculous. This is all ridiculous. We try to logically analyze this and it breaks down after 20 seconds. It\u2019s all ridiculous. We have this giant story here about how a divorce contributes to global warming. Well, fine. For today I\u2019m going to say it\u2019s true, but I love this stuff when it comes back and bites these advocates. Divorce contributes to global warming? That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n<p><BR\/>&#8221;Divorced households are smaller than married households, but consume more land, water, and energy per person than married households,\u2019 says Jianguo Liu of Michigan State University in East Lansing, US, who carried out the 12-country analysis with colleague Eunice Yu. In the US, for example, 627 billion gallons of water, the use of 38 million rooms, and 734 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity would have been saved in 2005 alone if no-one had got divorced.\u2019 Can you believe this? Let me go through this again: 627 billion gallons of water, the use of 38 million rooms, 734 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity would have been saved in 2005 alone if no one had got divorced. &#8216;In the same year, divorced households spent 46% more on electricity and 56% more on water per person than if they had stayed married. And following a split, US households consumed 42 to 61% more resources per person than while married.\u2019 <\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>Now, why would this be? We\u2019re going to have to put our thinking caps on for this. Following a split&#8230; Well, let\u2019s look at Algore and Tipper here. They\u2019re going to split up here so it\u2019s going to happen. US households consume 42 to 61% more resources per person than while married. How is this possible? What is Tipper going to do while living alone or separately from Algore that she wasn\u2019t doing with Algore? Turn up the air-conditioning? (laughing) I guarantee you Algore\u2019s air-conditioning is running at full blast like his heater is in the summertime, and all four of his 30-inch computer displays, too. No, no, no, no. US households consume 42 to 61% more resources per person than while married. So what is Tipper going to have or do after she splits up with Algore than if she were living with Algore &#8212; and for that matter, what\u2019s Algore going to have or do differently from Tipper when they split up? Anyway, this is worth thinking about because the environmentalist wackos have put this notion up there that divorce contributes to global warming, and here is a Nobel Peace Prize winner now contributing to his own crisis.<\/line><\/p>\n<p><BR\/>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/line><BR\/> <\/line><BR\/>RUSH: Regarding the Algore divorce: Who gets the Internet? Well, it\u2019s a legitimate question! And who will get Love Story 2? They inspired Love Story, right, the book by Erich Segal? Algore told us that. So will there be a sequel to Love Story? &#8216;Goral\u2019 cooling is happening out there.<\/line><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I\u2019m still waiting to confirm this, but it\u2019s reported that former Vice President Algore and his wife Tipper are separating after 40 years of marriage &#8212; which, if this is true, has gotta mean global cooling, not global warming.
