As Nobel Laureate Al Gore warns Congress today about how the naturally occurring gas carbon dioxide is destroying the planet -- and gets a lot of press attention doing so, of course! -- one has to wonder whether anyone -- either on Capitol Hill or in the media -- will ask him how he financially benefits if the legislative measures he's proposing get enacted.
After all, as NewsBusters reported last April, Gore has made huge investments in companies that produce green technologies specifically designed to combat the "problem" he's been telling the world -- using his brand of junk science, of course! -- exists.
Now, with a new, green Administration in office, Gore wants our tax dollars spent on things he's invested in (from prepared remarks):
I urge this Congress to quickly pass the entirety of President Obama’s Recovery package. The plan’s unprecedented and critical investments in four key areas – energy efficiency, renewables, a unified national energy grid and the move to clean cars – represent an important down payment and are long overdue. These crucial investments will create millions of new jobs and hasten our economic recovery – while strengthening our national security and beginning to solve the climate crisis.
Quickly building our capacity to generate clean electricity will lay the groundwork for the next major step needed: placing a price on carbon. If Congress acts right away to pass President Obama's Recovery package and then takes decisive action this year to institute a cap-and-trade system for CO2 emissions – as many of our states and many other countries have already done – the United States will regain its credibility and enter the Copenhagen treaty talks with a renewed authority to lead the world in shaping a fair and
effective treaty. And this treaty must be negotiated this year.Not next year. This year.
A fair, effective and balanced treaty will put in place the global architecture that will place the world – at long last and in the nick of time – on a path toward solving the climate crisis and securing the future of human civilization.
Well, isn't that convenient? After all, as Gore told an audience in Monterey, California, last March, these are things he's invested in (video available here, relevant section begins at minute 15:00):
There are a lot of great investments you can make. If you are investing in tar sands, or shale oil, then you have a portfolio that is crammed with sub-prime carbon assets. And it is based on an old model. Junkies find veins in their toes when the ones in their arms and their legs collapse. Developing tar sands and coal shale is the equivalent. Here are just a few of the investments I personally think make sense. I have a stake in these so I’ll have a disclaimer there. But geo-thermal concentrating solar, advanced photovoltaics, efficiency, and conservation.
With this in mind, shouldn't Gore be questioned -- by legislators AND news media!!! -- about how he will personally benefit if Congress goes through with his proposals?
Or is that asking too much?

NASA warming scientist James Hansen, one of former Vice-President Al Gore’s closest allies in the promotion of man-made global warming fears, is being publicly rebuked by his former supervisor at NASA.
And here are some of Tom Blumer's points today: "...Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, the former supervisor of James Hansen, NASA’s vocal man-made global warming fear soothsayer, has now publicly declared himself a skeptic and declared that Hansen “embarrassed NASA” with his alarming climate claims and said Hansen was “was never muzzled.” Theon joins the rapidly growing ranks of international scientists abandoning the promotion of man-made global warming fears..."

January 28, 2009 - 11:51 ET by fitzfongIt is my belief that Al Gore is the person most responsible for the collapse of the world economy. The release and promotion of his junk science film (including the indoctrination of public school students on the back of the taxpayer) began and aggravated the decline of the automobile industry as irresponsible "environmentalists" employed parasitic tactics to artificially drive energy costs through the roof. The damage this scumbag has done has affected all major sectors of the economy, from the mortgage crisis to the collapse of the banks. As far as I'm concerned, Gore shouldn't be testifying before Congress as some sort of respectable private citizen, he should be testifying in criminal court for fraud. The hoax he has been promoting for the last several years has destroyed entire industries...and for what? To enrich a bitter, disgraceful excuse for a human being who is more interested in a lame rock concert than he is in his own junkie drunk driver of a son.

From Millionaire to Billionaire
January 28, 2009 - 14:59 ET by BeanManYes indeed, Algore stands to go from a mere $100 million to a cool $1 Billion or so if this legislation goes into effect.
If I were on the committee he is in front of I would ask him about several aspects of AGW that don't agree with his made up facts. He gets most of his information from anecdotes about a particular ice shelf or a couple of dead polar bears. I'd ask him right there in front of the cameras and microphones to explain this in detail and I would be ready with a million comebacks.
How I wish someone would expose Algore for the fake charlatan that he is for all the world to see. Think of the other lame institutions that would fall right along with him e.g. The Acadamy of Motion Picture Sciences, the Nobel Peace Prize committee etc.

Something I don't understand...
January 28, 2009 - 18:50 ET by BosTarusOk, I understand how everyone here has a problem with Al Gore and Global Warming as a concept and all that... I'm not here to argue any of that-I've seen the massive threads this leads to. I'm just confused as to why the guy investing in companies that specialize in green tech is so offensive.
Ignoring whether or not you agree with him, had you a million dollars to invest, wouldn't you put that money in companies you wanted to succeed or believed in. You'd want to support companies that share your world view and all that. So I can see the man has many flaws, but I just can't see that as being an issue. The guy's invested in companies he believes in. I'm sure an animal rights activist with millions to invest, would only invest in animal safe companies, or some such. Or if you don't believe in stem cell research, i'm sure you wouldn't be dropping money into companies that utilize it. So why's this a bad thing what he's doing?
Are you really arguing that he's perpetuating a myth just to increase his stock options? I mean, you can believe the guys an idiot, but that's particularly cynical. I don't buy it.

January 28, 2009 - 19:39 ET by BosTarusAgain, I wasn't saying anything about global warming or Al Gore's political failings. But the whole, "cook up this scheme to take the world to the cleaners financially" seems a bit far fetched considering he's been talking about global warming since the early 90's. Long before it was a genuine craze.
Besides, no one's even addressed my main point: Why is it bad to invest in companies you believe in? I understand disagreeing with him and all that, but this is one thing I don't understand as an evil thing. The guy has his money in companies he supports philosophically. Wouldn't you?
In answer to your question;
January 28, 2009 - 20:03 ET by Sick-n-TiredIn answer to your question; it is NOT bad to invest in your own company and ideas---it shows your investors that you believe in what you are selling.
Now with that being said, here is the difference; the big difference. Is it not unethical sell your investor base on ideas that are not true? Falsified information? I would hope you here you would say yes. However, Gore is doing just that. He is selling (and investing to a degree) on a promote basis to where he is going to/has made make his money up front. If the bottom falls out of this carbon trade/credits/etc. he has already made his money, if it succeeds he is all the better for investing. Nevertheless, he comes out unscathed (and don't think he hasn't covered his behind) while the rest of us and our pocketbooks suffer---based on a bull-s**t, factually unsubstantiated, promoted deal.

January 28, 2009 - 20:03 ET by DoktorFrankenIn answer to your question (and I'm paraphrasing here) ''Why wouldn't you want to invest in such a money-making scheme''?
Because soon enough the bottom is gonna fall out of this insipid lie. The money Gore stands to make is only a mere pittance of the sin he is committing compared to the FEAR he has instilled in America's children to make that money.
May he burn in eternal hell for that alone.
BosTarus, Do you REALLY think
January 28, 2009 - 20:36 ET by Massage_Master07Do you really think that Gore doesn't KNOW that he's lying to pad his own pockets with OUR money?
In 2004, Gore contacted Duarte Design to visually enhance his
presentation. The design firm "condensed his material, incorporated new
data and stories and employed new media, such as video and animation.
BT. I don't know if you've seen "An Inconvenient Truth" or "The Day After Tomorrow", but if you've seen both of them, like I have, then you'll notice that The Day After Tomorrow came out before Gore's movie did. Gore said that EVERYTHING in his movie was true. If that was the case, then WHY did he and the production crew and director take the opening scene from Day After Tomorrow and put it in his movie. If THAT isn't a bald faced lie just to pad his own porfolio, then I don't know what is.
So to answer your question about Al Gore knowingly LYING about so called "man made" global warming? The answer is undoubtabley, YES YES YES!!!!

I'm curious what this supposed agenda the greenie leftists have. Cause its certainly not to make alot of money-have you met any environmentalists? The vast majority of them are dirt poor. Though a small minority would profit, I don't see how the environmental movement as a whole benefits if they aren't actually concerned for the planet.
And i'm not sure how Gore hiring a design firm proves anything. Everyone hires design firms to help presentations and whatnot... i don't get it.
I guess i just thought we were behind the whole, "the other side is flat out evil" gut reaction that children have. Gore's not clever enough (or evil enough) to be some green emperor Palpatine manipulating a fake war to gain power. It seems foolish to think that he's been interested in the environment purely for financial gain since his political career began-especially considering he'd only be seeing that gain this late in his career. And beyond that, you claim EVERY greenie leftist is in on this bizarre vast conspiracy to trick the world. If anyone's living in a fairy tale, i think its you guys.
I'm curious what this
January 28, 2009 - 21:52 ET by dboI'm curious what this supposed agenda the greenie leftists have. Cause
its certainly not to make alot of money-have you met any
environmentalists?
Have you never seen the billions and billions that enviro groups like Greenpeace, Sierra Club, WWF etc. have? Have you never seen or read about the billions of $$$ that go to scientists in grant money in the name of global warming?
The vast majority of them are dirt poor
Sure, there are some anti society, anti-corporate, anti-everything loons that drive around in a Volkswagen bus that like to hug trees. These whack jobs never miss a chance to jump on the latest "feel good" cause.

As for Al Gore, why do you judge him on the things he says instead of the things he does? If he were so concerned for the enviroment and is such a great leader why doesn't he lead by example? And btw, do these words look familiar:
If they look familiar that's because they're at the top of this page. That's what this thread is about. Is Al Gore more concerned about the enviroment or is he just another lobbyist?

Wow. Do you any of you remember the movie "Ruthless People?" Remember the scene when a member of the FBI suggests that Earl Mott, the character marvelously played by Bill Pullman, might be the stupidest person to ever live?
He was wrong.
Even more scary, this person gets to vote.
Any wonder why Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House, Harry Reid is the Senate Majority Leader, and Barack Obama is president?
Neal Boortz is right. They've dumbed down our entire country with substandard public education, and this is the result.
Be afraid, America. Be UNBELIEVABLY afraid!!! ns
Hey, ALGORE! The SUN IS BLANK. Just like your brain.

I've been watchin' for sunspots to. We had a little flurry of em for a few days in the new year then...zip.
Amnazing how someone so in tune with Global Warming and all, can miss the big ball of fire in the sky and the effects it has on the planet.
He knows damn well that nothing but lies are spilling from his face. For him, this is about accumulating wealth. For Obama, it's about redistributing it.
Happy Trails...
