If Al Gore Wasn’t Set To Make Billions Off Of Crap N Tax, Would He Even Care About Global Warming?
ByMatt Taibi—Rolling Stone magazine:
“The bank owns a 10 percent stake in the Chicago Climate Exchange, where the carbon credits will be traded. Moreover, Goldman owns a minority stake in Blue Source LLC, a Utah-based firm that sells carbon credits of the type that will be in great demand if the bill passes. Nobel Prize winner Al Gore, who is intimately involved with the planning of cap-and-trade, started up a company called Generation Investment Management with three former bigwigs from Goldman Sachs Asset Management, David Blood, Mark Ferguson and Peter Harris. Their business? Investing in carbon offsets. There’s also a $500 million Green Growth Fund set up by a Goldmanite to invest in green-tech … the list goes on and on. Goldman is ahead of the headlines again, just waiting for someone to make it rain in the right spot.”

If Gore were serious maybe he wouldn’t have a private jet , a limousine , and a house the size of your average grocery store. When him and his Hollywood buddies stop living like kings , maybe I’ll be interested in what this pack of hypocrites have to say.

Yes, he would be. Top scientists from MIT, Yale, Harvard, the Nobel Foundation, etc. are also highly concerned & back cap and trade provisions.

To answer your question. No way. This is his way of finally sticking to the man for the selection not elections thingy.
By the way when he ran for President didn’t he loose to his home state when he’s was….oh what was he before he was a VP.

If Al Gore cared about the environment he wouldn’t have supported global warming in the form of depleted uraniumhttp://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTI…

Thumper there is nothing free about this it is set up to favor certain people. Al Gore created a need of which he just happens to be one of the few people that can fill it.

Considering the size of Al Gore’s carbon footprint – he should be the one downsizing (and it wouldn’t hurt for him to lose a few pounds).

Al Gore only cares about Al Gore. He’ll make lots of money with the cap and trade because he owns the company that is going to issue those carbon credits when they tax us higher for our fuel usage.

Besides…it being completely false…
The American people unknowingly vote for it. I asked 10 black people if they had heard of “cap and trade” and not a single one had.
We’re pretty much fked.

Nope, it’s all about money and power, just like everything else our government does under the pretense of protecting us.
