Don't forget of the 2 (if there's that many) companies that sell carbon offsets, Gore owns 1.
He pays his own "for profit" company to fly around the globe in private jets, to locations where he gets paid to give the same flawed slide-show.
Edit:
NASA knew last spring that their temperature calculations were incorrect. The temperatures were published to be at least 0.5 degrees F too high!
These numbers cited by algore, now show that 1934 (not 1998) was the warmest year in the record books!
So...what do we do now?

The economic globalization treaties of 2008 are reliant on aviation, a proven cause of significant climate temperature change (warming and dimming).
It is predicted that flights will triple by about 2015 and, double every 8-10 thereafter, until 2050, if left unchecked.
There are sustainable options but frankly, it does not put the money in the right people's pocket (if you know what I mean).
The predicted massive growth of the global economy is predicated on the 2008 treaties, which include the "Open Skies" treaties.

if it continues at its present pace the VAST wastelands of Russia & canada will eventually become productive arable farm land able to produce food for many times the worlds current population.
Russia is already anticipating this & sees climate change as a positive thing.
it may not be beneficial in other parts of the world some will experience more rainfall, some less for example & some coastal citys may lose a few blocks, but as we seem to be entering a true global ecconomy they may be able to adjust. anyway we can forget worrying about the destruction of civilization by the return of the ice age. that was the big worry when I was in school in the 50s. even then the old people were saying "we dont have winters like we used to" now I'm saying it! & I,m glad its true in the central U S where I live.

Global warming will improve the global economy. Longer growing seasons and larger areas that will support crops can only help.
Stopping the alleged man-caused global warming will throw the world's economy into a tailspin. Allegedly, we can stop global warming at a cost of only 5 - 10% of the world's GDP. And guess who would be expected to pay the majority of that? Yep, the USA which is expected to pick up the tab on darn near everything the world turns its attention to.

Climate change would be a serious problem for the overall economy of the world. Higher global temperatures would mean a shift in the weather patterns. Traditional parts of the world where food is grown may become barren from lack of rain. This alone may cause most of the third world economies to collapse.
As the temperature continues to increase the Greenland and possibly the Antarctic ice sheets may melt. The Greenland ice sheet alone contains enough water to cause ocean levels to rise 75 meters. A 75 meter rise in ocean levels would endanger most of the worlds coastal cities. Many of these cities are the financial centers of the world. London, Singapore and New York could all be underwater.
Energy production could be impacted as the oceans levels rise. Much of the gulf coast would be flooded. Louisiana, which is part of the Mississippi river delta, may be completely underwater. This would disrupt oil delivers and gasoline refining for that part of the country creating a strain on the other refineries in the U.S.
Climate change would also lead to hyperinflation as there is less and less goods to buy at any price. This could lead to wars over food and fresh water. Climate change may ultimately lead to the breakdown of modern societies. This would be very bad for the world economy.

The countries around the world are experiencing an economic boom.
Never before have poorer countries like China, India, Viet Nam engaged in as much trade, never before have these countries seen a creation of wealth as they are experiencing today.
Clearly a warmer climate is beneficial to mankind.
