Beam me to Planet Gore !

Al Gore is pretty much the embodiment of what we will all soon be calling the Green-Industrial Complex. The American Conservative magazine describes how Gore profits from his advocacy of green causes.
For a snapshot of the federal and business interests intertwined in the rise of green capitalism, consider the best-known environmentalist, Al Gore, director of the film that has informed so many people’s views on the future of our planet, “An Inconvenient Truth.” To many, especially those still convinced that he was robbed of the 2000 presidential election, Gore is simply a super-committed individual determined to make the planet a better place. But there is far more to him. Gore is getting rich from environmentalism, not just by being paid a whopping $175,000 per speech but by using political pressure to force government policy in a direction that benefits his business interests.
Gore is founder and chairman of the Alliance for Climate Protection, an outfit that seeks to “persuade people of the importance, urgency and feasibility of adopting and implementing effective and comprehensive solutions for the climate crisis.” It has launched a $300 million advertising campaign to coax Americans to embrace the carbon-lite lifestyle and to put pressure on their political leaders to lower national carbon emissions.
But Gore is also chairman of a green investment firm called Generation Investment Management, which is a member of the Copenhagen Climate Council, an international collaboration of businesses and science bodies that promotes climate-change mitigation strategies and invests in companies that are environmentally friendly—including firms that produce renewable energy and low-carbon technology. So Gore uses one of his multimillion-dollar organizations—the Alliance for Climate Protection—to put pressure on government to promote the low-carbon lifestyle, which furnishes one of his other multimillion-dollar organizations—General Investment Management—with booming business.

Whatever you think of the Goreacle, he masterminded the biggest swindle of the 21st century. His scheme would make Madoff blush. To top everything else, the sheeple think he is a great man. I only wish I thought of this scam first. In fact there was just an article posted about the Navy having a strategy about the effects of global warming.
I have no problems with AlGore, and his methods to increase his own fortune, BUT I do have problems with the lunatics who support him and pay his way at the expense of others......
So, is this greenish tinge that of the trees he’s trying to save, or the green of some cold hard cash coming into his hands? Considering his own energy usage (such as that required by his house or that of his private jet) I guess we all know the answer.
For all o’ y’all... :-)
Please distribute and show to everyone you know...
It’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite *another* to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...
THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply *one* video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the *one*...
The following is an *excellent* video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

The man is a loon. And we in Wisconsin know “alla da loons ain’t on da lake”.

I don’t think this was a brain-child of Algore, who couldn’t even pass Divinity School. There are others who are behind this, using him as the public face. It would be interesting to know who it is.
