NYTIMES ACKNOWLEDGES GORE's PROFITEERING OFF OF CLIMATE ALARMISM
THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS —
GORE IS A PROPHET OF CLIMATE DOOM WHO IS PROFITEERING OFF THE FEAR; IT'S SO BLATANT, EVEN THE NYTIMES HAS TO COVER IT. I have to repeat something I've posted a few times: AGW, "peak oil" and climate alarmism have already created a HUGE BUBBLE. Banks are lending and companies are borrowing HUGE SUMS to build "alternative/renewable" energy resources which will be WHITE ELEPHANTS as soon as the fact that AGW and "peak oil" have been disproved becomes a little more widely recognized. This tipping point should arrive this ...

The deal appeared to pay off in a big way last week, when the Energy Department announced $3.4 billion in smart grid grants. Of the total, more than $560 million went to utilities with which Silver Spring has contracts. Kleiner Perkins and its partners, including Mr. Gore, could recoup their investment many times over in coming years.
Silver Spring Networks is a foot soldier in the global green energy revolution Mr. Gore hopes to lead. Few people have been as vocal about the ...

Al Gore, Carbon Billionaire
Wizbang —
In past arguments, er discussions, I've had concerning bias in global warming research and reporting, I've tried to explain just how much money there is to be made in the green industry. Al Gore is apparently the number one of example . Critics, mostly on the political right and among global warming skeptics, say Mr. Gore is poised to become the world's first "carbon billionaire," profiteering from government policies he supports that would direct billions of dollars to the business ventures he has invested in. Representative Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, asserted ...

And few have put as much money behind their advocacy as Mr. Gore and are as well positioned to profit from this green transformation, if and when it comes." For years I have personally challenged mainstream media outlets to admit how much money Nobel Laureate Al Gore HAS and WILL make by spreading global warming hysteria. On Tuesday, the New York Times will feature a front page story that discusses exactly that. Readers are strongly encouraged to strap ...

... estimates. But unlike other income tax rates, the new tax would not be indexed for inflation. As incomes rise over time because of inflation, more families — and more small business owners — would be hit by the tax. Regular readers know that I am blessed to have a good income. This bill would put my marginal federal and state income tax rate at more than 56%. Working less looks more and more appealing. Here's a shocker: I'm going to side with Al Gore. Gore is making millions, perhaps hundreds of millions , investing in clean technology. Some righty critics say he is ...

Al Gore, Soon-To-Be Billionaire?

The combination of Gaia worship, agitprop and rent-seeking pays very well indeed.
So, given that Gore is reaping huge rewards, doesn’t this call into question just a teensy bit the objectivity of his business partner James Hansen, the man NASA has administering the numbers telling us how much the climate is allegedly warming (when he’s not busy comparing coal trains to Auschwitz or getting arrested outside power plants)?
