As the New York Times detailed yesterday, Al Gore has, in the last few years, become a very, very rich man, thanks in large part to a number of investments
he’s made in companies that profit when governments make policy driven by climate-change panic.
Of course, the reason so many governments are making policies driven by climate-change panic is because of, well, Al Gore. Credit where it’s due, the man’s movie, An Inconvenient Truth, probably did more to sell the average voter on the belief in man-made, cataclysmic global warming than all the work of Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund and the United Nations. And few people have his kind of solid connections in Washington, D.C.– the kind that helped a small California firm, in which Gore’s firm took a healthy stake, find its way to $560 million in federal grants.
