Why the Gore Story Matters

So far, so good. So, where does Gore buy his ‘carbon offsets’? According to The Tennessean newspaper’s report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management. a company he co-founded and serves as chairman:

snip

As co-founder and chairman of the firm Gore presumably draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he “buys” his “carbon offsets” from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself. To be blunt, Gore doesn’t buy “carbon offsets” through Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks.

hope this story gets passed around and makes it to Drudge or Rush or Hugh or Dennis Prager

ironic since comedy central is now playing the manbearpig episode about algore.

EXCELSIOR!!

This is too good to pass up. If Gore were Republican, it would be above the fold in the NYT.

BTTT!

They were talking about this on Hannity & Colmes tonight. Favorite part was when the conservative geust told Alan Colmes that he was acting like a 5 year old. Touche.

I like what Rush said today about going on the algore diet where I eat everything in sight and everyone else sacrifices and eats brussel sprouts.

Also on Hannity & Colmes tonight was fitness expert Tracey Mallet. Oo-la-la!!!

Algore, like socialism, is such a scam. Totally Incredible.

No offense and to each his own but I never heard of Tracey Mallet before so I Googled her and I must say, she is okay but most if not all of the girls on FOX are better looking. Maybe you like the sweaty work out kind.

Not suprising, these guys are the Union reps from Peelousys Kalifonia business.

Do as I say not as I do because the s&*^%s so deep you cant run away. I beg to differ on the contrary, agree with every word that you say. Talk is cheap but lies are expensive, my wallets fat and so is my head. Hit and run and then I'll hit you again I'm a smart-ass but I'm playing dumb ...

Yeah she does the kickboxing shows on the Comcast digital exercise shows. I love her british accent.

[Phlap]

Snake oil indeed!

Can someone explain how carbon offsets are "supposed" to work and why they are "supposed" to be good.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Global warming...my arse.

Great information. I just sent it to 200 of my best email friends.

AL GORE'S FORMULA FOR WEALTH

1. Tell everyone they are sick
2. Tell everyone that you are the only person who has the cure ... for a price!

That is what Al Gore has done with his phony Global Warming Emergency. Take the time to understand what this is all about. I guarantee your liberal friends are repeating the talking points, but they have no clue what they actually mean.

My husband was on a train in England last year and got into a conversation with a man who was a carbon trader. He told him that Algore was heavy into carbon trading. I wasn't sure what he meant by that, but my first thought was he was profiting in the carbon trade business. Seems he is fomenting a crisis for personal profit.

[rgboomers]

I don't think even Al Gore really has a clue. I watched his movie twice as part of my education process.

There were two glaring omissions from the film.

1) No mention of the phrase "Corrolation does not necessarily mean causation." in connection with his temperature and CO2 chart comparison.

2) No mention or explanation of the term "radiative forcing", or what the limitations are of this important concept concerning green house gasses.

No one honestly, objectively, and knowingly explaining global warming could leave these 2 things out.

Gore's religion is his business...

Hey Buddy.....
Can you spare a Carbon Offset Credit?
I really need a cigarette.....

[tcrlaf]

P.T Barnum couldn't have come up with a better scam than this....

Create a fake "Commodity, guilt your liberal friends into buying, all while taking a cut...

WHAT A SCAM!!
