    You really think that's how Al Gore made his money?
    Yes
    Doubling down. I'll wait for @SFGbob to swoop in and start blasting you as a liar.

    If you don't want to read that, his fortune was made selling a TV station and being on the Apple board. HTH
    And for the book and the two movies and the speaking fees

    Why so defensive? Lots of people get rich with religious scams. Quite common really

    The article you linked was speculation on the graft he collected from Al Jazeera for a worthless TC network and Apple stock given to him.

    He also lost tens of millions of dollars on green tech Nice to have a scam to fall back on
    You think the book and speaking fees are material to his hundred plus million? Race you are better then that.

    Ok dude that is why you're looking to a lawyer that claims himself a scientists to support your position.

    I'm not

    I'm a logician and I believe in real science

    Not half truths and phony stats

    The climate changes. We all know that. Its your religion that we dont agree with and that has no consensus
    Ya humans are just exempt from having their activities add any weight to the outcome of your logical progressions. Seems like you forget about the principles of causality in your logical facade.
    They aren't exempt but they are irrelevant to the billions of years that the earth has existed with the climate changing every step of the way. Hot cold or in between all with out humans even here

    Your science should be able to point out how the humans are changing the climate and what can be done to stop it if we want to. It can't because its a faith based religion

    Instead you just mock the unbelievers and gather the congregation to await the end times to come
    Praise be.

    Ax yourself:

    Your very existence is dependent on grant-funding and corporate or gubmint support to put food on the table. You have no appreciable job skills or other means of making money than 'research'. Take any topic - climate, agriculture, drug research....who cares? Same concept.

    It is not logical to assume benevolence and truthiness uber alles. You gots to eat. Are you going to bite the hand that feeds you? Or your family? Remember - you can't do shit other than sit in a lab or interpret data. You can't swing a hammer, you can't close a deal, you can't produce a product.....

    That 3% that aren't in your 97% consensus....maybe THAT'S the group that says "Fuck all" and isn't beholden to the Money Grab and are pure scientists for the science of it.

    But that's not in the interest of the Money Grabbers....so you're considered a heretic.

    And the crazy part is - the Money Grabbers sit on both the left and the right. They just have a comfort in either direction on who they want to whore out their 'science'.

    It gets really hot. It gets really cold. Same as it ever was.



    Exactly

    These scientist not only rely on funding for research, but also for wages as well. The climate change hysteria has to continue or a lot of these scientist are out of a job.

    Yes the same parameters don't apply to the industries that are negatively impacted by changing how we do things now.
    Can you point me to a denying scientist that's getting paid by these industries?
    How can you behold the truth if you cannot seek for yourself?
    I quit reading this thread when Jesus weighed in.

    I said they were a nice fallback for his failed green tech that lost 10s of millions

    Sounds like you are the defensive one as you have to lie about how he made his money. HTH

    AlGore petitioned himself with a big chunk of the company that do all the buying and selling of the carbon credits. Lost those millions when the carbon tax failed. He was just going to enrich himself much like that's scientists are doing. It's a scam. They profit from the scam. Answer that phone Nigeria is calling!

    Al Gore was a senator and VP in an era that everyone in politics is rich. Bernie Sanders is among the poorest senators in the country and even he is a millionaire now.

    And he's your example of someone who got rich from climate change advocacy... That's hilarious.

    IF the Donald and The Squad were truly serious about draining the swamp/leveling the playing field on the system, the first bi-partisan thing they should do is toss out the insider trading exemption to members of Congress. That is just graft and corruption on the investing public's teet. Fucking bullshit.

    Then, they would implement a 5 year ban on former members of Congress and government employees from engaging in lobbying activities. Now, this would dramatically cut down on the sex in restaurant bathrooms throughout DC which is a shame but it would also reduce the quid pro quo trade of votes now for riches later crap that currently plays out.

    Same 5 year ban on former members of Congress, Presidents and other government employees from sitting on Boards of public companies.

    Finally 5 year ban on speaking fees and book deals. Fuck that shit. Go get a real job, take long walks on the beach for perspective, whatever... NOBODY is worth $250K+ per speech. Moses presenting the motherfucking 10 Commandments to the joobs wasn't worth $250K.

    Fuck Al Gore's wealth. Fuck Barrack Obama's cash grab. Fuck Bill Clinton and the Epstein Clinton. Foundation. Fuck Condi on the College Football Selection Committee and fuck Dick Cheney because, well, fuck Dick Cheney.

    Again, I am amazed at your dishonesty or complete ignorance.

    Al Gore received a butt load of free stock in a Silicon Valley venture capital firm (same with Apple and numerous other companies looking for more tax payer generosity). That firm invested 45 million into a company called Silver Springs Networks which was a company that had some type of hardware or software (not sure which) that made the power grid more efficient. BO invested 2.5 billion in grants to the energy sector. Guess who was given $305 million of that 2 billion? You guessed it, energy companies that all had contracts with Silver Springs Networks. Ahh yes, the insider gift that keeps on giving.

    Al Gore was paid handsomely to do over 500 speeches (this is in a two year period just after the turn of the century) that dealt with one single solitary topic: Man made climate change. Guess what? Many government organizations paid him US Tax Dollars to speak on MMGW. Again, the insider gift that keeps on giving.

    Gore took all this free money from tax payers and then invested it in many other green initiatives that would go on to rely upon tax payer dollars to kick of their programs. Another scam on the US taxpayer that ended up right in his pocket. If Hillary had been elected and all of the carbon limiting companies Gore had invested in had been funded by her using our tax dollars he would have been over a billionaire.

    Suffice to say, your contention that Gore didn't make it off of MMGW is pure unadulterated bullshit.

    Now you care about how the wealthy spend their money? 500 speeches is chump change compared to selling his TV station and apple stock. Al Gore is shitty enough. You don't actually have to lie about his actions.

    You think he only made $10,000 or so per a speech? Try $100K

    https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/washingtons-highest-lowest-speaking-fees/story?id=24551590

    Even if he only did half of the speeches claimed, he's making around $25 million just on speeches.

    He's also 8th in total number of book sales by a politician

    https://www.thedailybeast.com/political-bestsellers-which-politician-has-sold-the-most-books

    Yeah, I think this made him quite a fortune.

    Then the rest was from gifted Apple stock, and having financial interests in multiple companies that profited off tax payer money in the interest of global warming.

    Even if he only did half of the speeches claimed, he's making around $25 million just on speeches.

    He's also 8th in total number of book sales by a politician

    Yeah, I think this made him quite a fortune.

    Then the rest was from gifted Apple stock, and having financial interests in multiple companies that profited off tax payer money in the interest of global warming.

    Now you hate the free market and people making money from speeches and book sales. Got it.

    That being said, his wealth is mostly from Apple and selling a TV station. HTH.

    Yep there is no money to be made from scaring the public with global warming or climate change


    You really think that's how Al Gore made his money?
    Yes
    Doubling down. I'll wait for @SFGbob to swoop in and start blasting you as a liar.

    If you don't want to read that, his fortune was made selling a TV station and being on the Apple board. HTH
    And for the book and the two movies and the speaking fees

    Why so defensive? Lots of people get rich with religious scams. Quite common really

    The article you linked was speculation on the graft he collected from Al Jazeera for a worthless TC network and Apple stock given to him.

    He also lost tens of millions of dollars on green tech Nice to have a scam to fall back on
    You think the book and speaking fees are material to his hundred plus million? Race you are better then that.
    Again, I am amazed at your dishonesty or complete ignorance.

    Al Gore received a butt load of free stock in a Silicon Valley venture capital firm (same with Apple and numerous other companies looking for more tax payer generosity). That firm invested 45 million into a company called Silver Springs Networks which was a company that had some type of hardware or software (not sure which) that made the power grid more efficient. BO invested 2.5 billion in grants to the energy sector. Guess who was given $305 million of that 2 billion? You guessed it, energy companies that all had contracts with Silver Springs Networks. Ahh yes, the insider gift that keeps on giving.

    Al Gore was paid handsomely to do over 500 speeches (this is in a two year period just after the turn of the century) that dealt with one single solitary topic: Man made climate change. Guess what? Many government organizations paid him US Tax Dollars to speak on MMGW. Again, the insider gift that keeps on giving.

    Gore took all this free money from tax payers and then invested it in many other green initiatives that would go on to rely upon tax payer dollars to kick of their programs. Another scam on the US taxpayer that ended up right in his pocket. If Hillary had been elected and all of the carbon limiting companies Gore had invested in had been funded by her using our tax dollars he would have been over a billionaire.

    Suffice to say, your contention that Gore didn't make it off of MMGW is pure unadulterated bullshit.

    Now you care about how the wealthy spend their money? 500 speeches is chump change compared to selling his TV station and apple stock. Al Gore is shitty enough. You don't actually have to lie about his actions.
