What has Al Gore done with all that money?

I love Al Gore. He expects us to be driving a Toyota Prius (which, BTW, looks like a gerbil effed a dust buster, but I digress)... while he flew a private jet to many of his appearances.

Way to go Al...!

Typical case of "killing the messenger". People who don't like what he has to say on climate are now calling him a hypocrite because he flies around in a jet.

Like Galileo told the inquisition "E pur si muove" (and yet it moves), climate change there is, whether man made or natural or a combination or little green men, it's here and it has to be dealt with. Even Mother Teresa had to travel to take her message and to talk to people to affect change.

Just because the guy has a message on how fossil fuel consumption is responsible for global warming doesn't mean that he can change things from a cave while he eats weeds, no one would listen to him if he did.

Sure the rich get richer, that's always been the case, but how about worrying about those that "have to" cut 2,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 jobs in order to "cut costs" so that they can send the jobs to slave labor in China, so that their stock can go up and they in turn can make more money and then point the finger in the direction of illegal immigrants and blame them for the job loses?

How about worrying about giant corporations making huge bucks from predatory lending with less than scrupulous methods, "contracts" which are pages long on print that is hardly legible with language that takes the team of several legal firms to decipher who would rather take your house and put you on the street rather than to make less money that they SPECULATED they were going to make?

Because many of these companies when they say that they "lost" money, they didn't actually lose any, they will just not make as much as they "projected" they would.

Donated to his cause. Gore is a man of honor and is the easy target for those who don't like his policies or the truth. And those of lesser intelligence always resort to his weight, Dr. Jello anyone?

Nobel Peace Prize was where the money went, to search for new ways to try to stop global warming. It wasn't a brive either. When he won the NPP, he gave all of the money that came with it back. And how else is someone flying all around the nation extremely fast supposed to travel. By car? By train? By public airflight with long lines? NO!

Build huge homes that consume approx. 7x the amount of electricity of the avg. home. Oh, and maybe buy some carbon credits to offset it - translated - paid for someone in Africa to go and plant some trees to offset his energy consumption.

"100 percent of the profits from the book and the movie [will go] to a new bipartisan educational campaign to further spread the message about global warming."
