Gore Admits Making Money Off Global Warming Hoax

In my blockbuster article, 10 Reasons to Doubt Global Warming is Man-Made (Part 1), I listed money as the number three reason for doubting global warming. There is a ton of money in this scam, and at the forefront is Generation Investment Management:

Generation Investment Management LLP is a London-based investment management firm with an investment style that blends traditional equity research with a focus on sustainability factors, including social and environmental responsibility and corporate governance.

Generation has built a global research platform to integrate sustainability research into fundamental equity analysis. The firm focuses on the economic, environmental, social, and governance risks and opportunities that can materially affect a company’s ability to sustain profitability and deliver returns.

The company invests money in Big Green. And Al Gore is a big part of it. Up until now, he hasn’t said a whole lot about it, but now he has added it to his little slide show he does. After telling the audience about how they are all going to die unless global warming is stopped by putting a cork in CO₂ emissions, he then starts shilling the companies he invests in:

From impending doom to sales pitch at 15 minute mark.

This occurred as pictures of such products appeared on the screen with names of the companies involved (video available here, relevant section begins at minute 15:00, h/t NBer Sick-and-Tired):

There are a lot of great investments you can make. If you are investing in tar sands, or shale oil, then you have a portfolio that is crammed with sub-prime carbon assets. And it is based on an old model. Junkies find veins in their toes when the ones in their arms and their legs collapse. Developing tar sands and coal shale is the equivalent. Here are just a few of the investments I personally think make sense. I have a stake in these so I’ll have a disclaimer there. But geo-thermal concentrating solar, advanced photovoltaics, efficiency, and conservation.

As Gore spoke these words, pictures of electric cars, windmills and solar panels appeared in multiple slides on the screen with company names at the bottom such as Amyris (biofuels), Altra (biofuels), Bloom Energy (solid oxide fuel cells), Mascoma (cellulosic biofuels), GreatPoint Energy (catalytic gasification), Miasole (solar cells), Ausra (utility scale solar panels), GEM (battery operated cars), Smart (electric cars), and AltaRock Energy (geothermal power).

As such, like an investment advisor or stock broker giving a seminar to prospects and clients, Al Gore was actively recommending people put money in companies he already has a financial stake in.

Let’s not forget about how he preaches to the disciples to live like tomorrow depends on it, while he lives a lifestyle that burns 20 times the energy of a typical American. Now he’s just selling people on investments that will earn him a profit.

The man has no shame.
