Al Gore denies there’s a conflict of interest between his global warming fearmongering and his global warming investments.
After years of pushing his junk science Gore is poised to become the world’s first “carbon billionaire.”
Via Breitbart TV
Not only is Al Gore going to make hundreds of millions off of the Democrat’s cap-&-tax energy bill but one of Gore’s environmental groups and several green activists helped draft the legislation. Commerce Committee Chairman Henry A. Waxman (D-California) used US Climate Action Partnership’s (ASCAP) proposals as a blueprint for climate legislation. The Washington Times reported that the sweeping climate bill includes a provision that benefits Duke Energy Corp., a founding member of the U.S. Climate Action Partnership (USCAP), whose climate plan released in January the lawmakers have frequently called a “blueprint” for their climate legislation. The Times continued:
At the kickoff to hearings last week on the massive climate bill, Myron Ebell, climate and energy policy director for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, told lawmakers, “The authors of the draft bill have invited the beneficiaries of what could turn out to be the biggest transfer of wealth from consumers to special interests in American history to write the rules for this legalized plunder.”
Al Gore’s World Resources Institute is one of the founding members of USCAP, the organization that helped construct the bill. The former VP has also invested heavily in green businesses that will benefit greatly by the liberals’ cap and trade plans. Gore is the founder and chairman of Alliance for Climate Protection. You likely know the organization through its branch Repower America. This group has bombarded the airwaves with “We Can Solve It” ads that are pushing for cap and trade legislation.

The sky has been falling for 10 years Al.
You’ve been peddling your mis/disinformation for over 10 year AL Throughout those 10 years the GLOBE (as in GLOBAL) has not got WARMER (as in WARMING). But you’ve gotten FAT (as in OBESE) and you’ve gotten rich.
World has not warmed.
Gore gets rich.
The mis/disinformation campaign continues and Gore gets RICHER.
Planet doesn’t get warmer.
Please explain this to me AL.
stacy commented:
I am certain that Al Gore will let those billions trickle down to those in America who are starving each and every day. He will live on a modest income and a modest dwelling. He will repent of his carbon footprint.
Obama, will you sit here and hold your breath until he does? Thank you.
stacy commented:
Maybe Al will buy billions of blankets for the millions of homeless who will be freezing this winter and every winter after that because its really cold outside.
Jayne commented:
But he has that degree in.. umm never mind.
gus commented:
Obama and Gore have no track record of philanthropy. Obama was mortgaged and leveraged to the hilt until he cashed in on his Democratic Convention speech. In fact five scant days before taking the Oval office has Opie depositing a check for a “future childrens book”. Gore is cashing in on the hysteria he himself created.
This is the type of moral values libtards espouse. They are narcissistic self centered and completely dishonest.
TSB commented:
Is the grass green where these snakes live? Capitalism is only good for scum like algore & george soros – aka Igor and Dr Frankenstein – “global cooling” morphed into “global warming” which has recently been conveniently renamed “climate change” because the facts don’t support this tripe. What a bunch of snake oil salesmen!! People buy this load of crap and they pad their pockets while they pull the strings behind the curtain.
They somehow lead the drooling sycophant PC liberal masses into thinking they are for “freedom” as they squash individual liberties one by one. Enough – these weasels ALL need to be run out on a rail, and lookout – it’s coming.

Calling what it is — Legalized stealing.
Unless libtards lie, cheat and steal, they can do nothing. The strength of their arguments are that weak.
There is no science left for the hoax to stand on. There is no way CO2 can do what the hoaxers ascribe to it — Any first year chemist or physicist can set you straight on the physics and chemistry of gas absorption science. Hint CO2′s heat absorption is logarithmic and concentrations have already passed the level where additional CO2 will do essentially nothing.
Dante commented:
Gore is the biggest hypocrite thie green earth has ever seen. His flys everywhere to lecture his filth in his private jet and have you seen his house?!
Gore’s message is consistent with his lifestyle. He has said that families and organizations are going to use different amounts of energy, and they should first determine their carbon footprint — the overall energy usage in terms of carbon emissions — and do their best to reduce it.
The think tank report cited figures from the Nashville Electric Service that showed Gore burned through 22,619 kilowatt-hours of electricity at his house last August, a rate that is twice the level used by an average U.S. household in an entire year.

Although they are, as Gus posted, “….narcissistic self centered and completely dishonest” it goes far beyond that. They are raping and pillaging the treasury funded by “we, the taxpayer” while the village idiots slumber. Crap and Raid ™ is just another scam/excuse for further plunder.

Do not get sidetracked. first politically cut the nut sack off of healthcare by handing a big defeat to “the man child”. Next keep hammering the point home that this is OUR America and not theirs. I love my country and HATE my government. Lets Roll.

There once was a man named Al Gore
who spoke in a tone that could bore.
He threw America in a ditch
and became very rich.
With cap and tax he will make even more.

oh yeah.. Gore expects Obama to attend Dec. climate talks
so do i, but even if he doesn’t “attend”, he will be signing The New World Order goal document one way or another, heh, he already has in so many ways (we’re just haven’t been paying attention).. else the NPP farce be all for naught..

a little background:
Soros & Strong are behind the power grab for the
New World Order under the auspices of the UN..
just a sample..
Eco-economic Warfare and the Planned Collapse of Western Civilization
[Maurice Strong is perhaps most widely known as the co-author of the 1994 Earth Charter with the communist and former Russian president Mikhail Gorbachev, who once stated that the threat of environmental crisis will be the "international disaster key that will unlock the New World Order." Strong's rise to prominence as internationalist gofer to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers goes back to 1946, when Strong was just 17 and working as a clerk at the United Nations in New York City. It was here that Strong was befriended and recruited by David Rockefeller. Despite his minimal credentials of only a high school diploma, Strong is moved up the ladder quickly following his introduction to Rockefeller, becoming a millionaire by his mid-20s, during the Alberta oil and gas boom. At the age of 25, Strong became the President of Dome Petroleum in Calgary. By the age of 35, he is the CEO of the Power Corporation of Canada. While at the Power Corporation, Strong hires Paul Martin and James Wolfensohn, both of whom would move up the ladder quickly and go on to hold high positions of power -- Martin as Prime Minister of Canada, and Wolfensohn as President of the World Bank. (Strong would later become an advisor to Wolfensohn at the World Bank.)
At the UN, Strong would go on to become Director of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP), Senior Advisor to UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, and Chairman of the Earth Council. He would also become Chairman of the World Resources Institute, Co-Chairman of the Council of the World Economic Forum, and a member of Toyota's International Advisory Board. Strong's most influential role to date, however, has been as the Secretary-General of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED -- aka the Earth Summit) in Rio de Janeiro. It was this conference that gave birth to the Earth Charter and Agenda 21, which would lay the groundwork for a completely managed global society run and managed under the auspices of the UN, under the guise of saving the environment.
It is people such as Maurice Strong, Mikhail Gorbachev, Al Gore, and Ted Turner that are at the forefront of the UN's environmental/depopulation agenda, at least at the visible/gofer level. The four are also members of, or have close connections to the Club of Rome. It is the Club of Rome that has been guiding the environmental movement since its creation at the Rockefellers' estate in Bellagio, Italy in 1968. It's aim is to reduce a large majority of the global population, as well as manufacture crisis through which the world can be "united" under a one world government, as was admitted in their 1991 publication, titled The First Global Revolution.]
Agenda 21
The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development
the nightmare of it all is ringing truer & truer every
day.. hope we wake up before it becomes a reality..

I still wonder: what global warming?
Nobody has managed to produce any evidence. What is thrown out is, basically, nonsense. CO2 is not behaving like Al Gore claims (which shows how little he really knows.) Even worse, some of the claims aren’t even possible (check up on laws of thermodynamics to understand what kind of nonsense Gore is spewing.)
The AWI, the Alfred Wegener Institute, has confirmed that temperature and CO2 are NOT connected. The AWI are specialists for the North Pole, unlike Al Gore, who has been claiming that the North Pole will have no ice in 5 years (for the past 6 years). Last year had an ice record on the North Pole. Austria opened the ski resorts on October 15th, most early date ever. I’ve just watched it snow outside for the whole day.
And let’s not forget.
1) it has been warmer before. The Romans planted wine in North England, just like Denmark had wine in the Middle Ages.
2) the climate is NOT stable. 1,000 years, 2,000 years, that’s nothing. That’s short term.
3) climate models are used to foretell the development of a non-linear, chaotic system, which is NOT POSSIBLE. Absolutely not possible.
4) there is NO evidence. The temperature measurements for the IPCC and Al Gore alarming are done with stations that don’t follow scientific standards and produce errors up to 5°C.
5) Michael Mann forged his hockey stick, that is a proven fact. The hockey stick is an artifact, a fake. Same for Hansen’s famous NASA graphs. They’re a fake too, Hansen even admitted it.
So, where’s the proof?
Some local weather events?
And hey, what “global climate”? There is no such things as “global climate”. There are five climate zones.

I thought Gore, Obama, and their ilk (Obama drones in general) hate rich people.
Will he hate himself?
You may imagine how the 52% of the population that are freezing in the dark in winter and sweltering in the summer while they’re unemployed will react.
I Think that’s the reason these rats push gun control.

thought i’d share these” in a nutshell” opinions:
Al Gore, James Hansen – Carbon Communists
[I all along have said that this Global Warming Hysteria has nothing to do with science, facts, or saving the environment. It’s all a political agenda. An anti human, anti development and anti freedom agenda. They also hate the capitalistic system for obvious reasons.
And that the politicians love this Global Warming Hysteria because they can tax everyone to death, and introduce new fees etc with the ”motivation” that ”they” are ”saving” the planet from the Global Warming treat.
Of course they don’t sacrifice anything themselves- see the glaring example of Al Gore who preaches frugality to the masses while he himself gladly continues with his great and energy rich lifestyle – they ONLY LIKE YOU TO FEEL THE PAIN and BURDEN of this sacrifice.
The sad part about this Hysteria is, besides how the scientists have betrayed everything that science should stand for, is the press and medias role in censoring and intimidating everyone who has opposed this hysteria.
And there willing participation in driving and promoting this hysteria. Not to mention their part in covering up the Giant Difference between what these high priests says and what they actually do. A total and utter shame for what journalism should be about.]
Carbon Communism
[I think that the CO2-caused Global Warming theory is false and unproven junk science.
But let’s suppose for a moment that the CO2 equals Global Warming equation is real. The wealthy elitists James Hansen, Al Gore, Tony Blair, Barack Obama, and the other high-profile cheerleaders for CO2 reduction are asking the poor and middle classes to suffer the consequences of a radical shutdown of global commerce and energy production in order to ‘save the planet’ from Global Warming. They want to make serfs of the masses of working people, while a privileged elite will be permitted to continue living in high style with a much larger ‘carbon footprint’ than the un-entitled lower classes.
We should never let that happen. The only way that ‘carbon rationing’ should be allowed is by assigning the exact same carbon limit to all people everywhere. Al Gore, Barack Obama, a London cabbie, and a Kalahari Bushman should all be assigned exactly the same number of ‘carbon credits’, period. Let them trade their credits with each other, but everyone should be restricted to the same limited ‘carbon credit’ allowance. The long-term ultimate effect of this would be an economic leveling of society; essentially global Communism. Under such a system, no one would be able to accumulate an excess of personal property or wealth because they could never accumulate enough ‘carbon credits’ to do so.
When Hansen, Gore, Blair, and Obama give up their patrician incomes and lifestyles and restrict their own ‘carbon footprint’ to the level of the common labourer or office worker, I will begin to believe that they are sincere about preventing Global Warming. Their obvious unwillingness to do what they are asking the rest of us to do proves that they are not sincere. They want the common people to sacrifice their lives to prevent Global Warming, while the wealthy retain their high-carbon consuming and producing privileges.
We cannot permit a privileged elite to enjoy a ‘high-carbon’ lifestyle while the poor are restricted by law to a ‘low-carbon’ lifestyle. Any effort by any government to impose carbon rationing with preferential treatment to any class of people should be seen as sufficient reason for an all-out French-style revolution in which the majority population dispossess the elitists of their wealth, their positions of power, and their privilege. In a world that is constantly threatened by Global Warming, we cannot allow a greedy few to consume or produce in excess of the average ‘carbon footprint’ of the world’s population as a whole.]
