OPINION:
One way to gauge the success of global warming activists is to count how many fossil-fuel-burning homes they collect.
For some, the climate change industry has to be one of the most lucrative professions on Earth, which, by the way, is in danger of failing any year now unless we depopulate. Can you imagine the roundup?
For others, it’s a way to take existing wealth and turn their dollars into political power.
We’re in a hysteria lull right now between the tornado-summer heat-hurricane season and the winter rain and snow deluge, so let’s look at some of the biggies.
Former Vice President Al Gore, the movement’s chief alarmist, set the standard. After losing to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush in 2000, he left the vice presidency with a net worth of perhaps $1.7 million.
Today, press accounts put his total assets at about $300 million. He was helped a lot by selling his cable TV channel in 2013 to oil-and-gas mega-producer Qatar. Yes, Al got richer off fossil fuels. He has also been paid for writing books on Earth’s coming demise. The Arctic should have disappeared in 2016, he predicted.

This reminds me of the Goodfellas scene:
“Struck by lighting? Pay me.”

It is hot: Climate change. Pay me.
It is cold: Climate change. Pay me.
Snow: Climate change. Pay me.
Rain: Climate change. Pay me.
Lot of hurricanes: Climate change. Pay me.
Few hurricanes: Climate change. Pay me.

I grew up in Nashville. Al Gore lives in Nashville. So here’s a quick story:
* Al has a big mansion in Belle Meade (Old money area)
* Nashville’s power is provided by a company called NES (Nashville Electric Service)
* NES had a program called “Green Power Switch” where you could voluntarily pay more to “get your power from green sources”.
Guess who WASN’T signed up for this program until the local media investigated?
Guessing Teresa’s “little brown children” worker bees aren’t living it up at the mansion.
