+6How can we trust anything Al Gore says when he has been repeatedly proven wrong hand has made $100,000,000.00 as a direct result of the his fear-mongering?
These people are a bunch of hypocrites and got rich off the Global Warming myth, Al Gore being one of the worst perpetrators!!
he makes up complete BULLSITE! and expects people to believe his CRAP!
he made millions of the paranoia of the people!
The Chicago Climate Exchange was set up to "trade carbon credits" which would have
been set up if the Democrats had been able to pass Cap and Trade. The exchange
would have made millions......... with the failure of the Democrat congress to pass
Cap and Trade..... the exchange (CCE) went out of business.
It is no wonder Gore would push the idea of global warming because he would have
made millions......... as it was he made enough to get a Hollywood estate and a
trade his loving wife...Tipper, in for a new model...........

The man *should* have been POTUS in 2001, he deserves this.
Imagine what the country - and the world - would have been like had he been President like it should have been. . . . .

Al Gore, however, defrauded people with his deceptive marketing campaign.

I can tell you that Europe has a much better infrastructure for that stuff as they have made it more of priority the past decade or so than we have over here. Plus, some of the money went to American companies who based their businesses overseas. Go figure.
My first post was with tongue firmly planted in cheek, BTW.
Thanks for the great post.
If you make money directly as a result of government policies you pimp there is a CLEAR conflict of interest.
Are you making a sarcastic joke or do you really not see the conflict?
