this is not to say that we should continue to pollute the planet indiscriminately. if you buy into all this cap n trade, global warming, climate change nonsense perhaps you should do a little research and follow the 'Prius' money.

Why not provide a link to this fabulous information?
Otherwise it's just an unfounded opinion.

Al Gore's $100 Million Makeover - Current TV - Generation Investment Management - An Inconvenient Truth | Fast Company

"Financial disclosure documents released before the 2000 election put the Gore family's net worth at $1 million to $2 million. After years of public service--and four kids needing high-priced educations--Al and Tipper used to fret occasionally about money. Not anymore. They have a new multimillion-dollar home in a tony section of Nashville and a family home in Virginia, and have recently bought a multimillion-dollar condo at the St. Regis condo/hotel in San Francisco. Available data indicate a net worth well in excess of $100 million."

he is longer impartial. he stands to amass a huge fortune based on shaky science. i'd have no problem if he at least debated the 'deniers' but as far as he is concerned the debate is over. i would also like to see congress not blocking lord monckton from speaking at a recent climate change hearing.

even if climate change is man made i really don't see how their cap n trade will make any difference. if we were responsible for global warming then why is this 'enlightened' administration doing everything in its power to stimulate consumption? why are we still subsidizing oil, coal and gas companies? why is the president committing more troops to protecting oil supply?

And he's got his software company all ready for when cap&trade passes.
It tracks greenhouse emissions and stands to make billions once the bill is passed.

i wonder if the software would go up for tender or if it's a given that his company has already been selected.
