Al Gore’s campaign against global warming is shifting into high gear. Reporters and commentators follow his every move and bombard the public with notice of his activities and opinions. But while the mainstream media promote his ideas about the state of planet Earth, they are mostly silent about the dramatic impact his economic proposals would have on America. And journalists routinely ignore evidence that he may personally benefit from his programs. Would the romance fizzle if Gore’s followers realized how much their man stands to gain?

Earlier this year Gore experienced a notable public relations debacle. The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a state think tank, revealed that he was an energy hog. Public records show that Gore’s Nashville mansion used in one month more than twice the electricity the typical American household uses in a year: His average monthly electric bill was more than $1,359. Moreover, Gore’s household energy use increased after An Inconvenient Truth, his film about global warming, was released to ecstatic reviews.

Never mind that the scientific community is divided over what causes global warming, how bad it is and how to deal with it. Gore plays Chicken Little to the media’s applause, insisting that the world is warming dangerously and that he has the solution.

Seems like Gore finally found his little niche. Spouting off about some "castostrophe" that neither he nor anyone else can "fix". And his favorite remedy, taxing us to death, wont work either. Sure, i agree, we should conserve energy, dont be wasteful, etc...but come on...another tax??

Gore also owns businesses that buy and sell emission credits, which he makes a lot of money from.

Add to that the fact that Gore is intellectually dishonest, and intellectually incapable of even knowing facts about which he speaks. He has been challenged on many occasions to debate people who have expertise/credentials in environmental science and he always refuses. Why? Because he has no knowledge of the environmental questions, he is merely the high profile mouthpiece for environmental extremism.
