I think I have finally figured out why al Gore is so intent on changing the world to reduce CO₂ and fight Global Warming. He has a guilty conscience.

IT'S ALL HIS FAULT.

I don't mean the endless traveling the globe via private jet to promote his movie and his cause. I don't mean the the monstrous energry-hungry mansion he calls home. (Or more accurately one of his homes.) I'm not even referring to the seemingly endless stream of hot air he emits as he preaches against the evils of capitalism and the burning of fossil fuels.

A new study entitled An Inefficient Truth (pdf) claims to prove that a  medium size server has a carbon footprint equal to that of an SUV getting 15 mpg

I would guess that the man who, through his invention called "The Internet" is responsible for the existence of vast numbers of servers all over the world probably feels bad about the horror he has unleashed on the planet.

But then again we're talking about al Gore.
