As NewsBusters reported here , here , and here , there are huge dollars to be made from global warming alarmism. However, conceivably no one is better positioned to financially benefit from this scam than Dr. Global Warming himself, former Vice President Al Gore, a fact that the media will surely not share with Americans any time soon. Yet, if America’s press would take some time out of their busy schedules covering the earth-shattering details surrounding Anna Nicole Smith’s demise, they might find a deliciously inconvenient truth about the soon-to-be-Dr. Gore that is significantly more fascinating and diabolical than anything likely to emerge from that courtroom in Broward County, Florida. As reported by Dan Riehl (emphasis mine throughout): Former Vice President Al Gore has built a Green money-making machine capable of eventually generating billions of dollars for investors, including himself , but he set it up so that the average Joe can't afford to play on Gore's terms. And the US portion is headed up by a former Gore staffer and fund raiser who previously ran afoul of both the FEC and the DOJ, before Janet Reno jumped in and shut down an investigation during the Clinton years . Think Katie, Charlie, or Brian will be all over this tonight? Regardless, that was just the tip of the questionably melting iceberg as reported by Bill Hobbs in Nashville, Tennessee: [H]ow Gore buys his "carbon offsets," as revealed by The Tennessean raises serious questions . According to the newspaper's report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management : Gore helped found Generation Investment Management, through which he and others pay for offsets. The firm invests the money in solar, wind and other projects that reduce energy consumption around the globe... Gore is chairman of the firm and, presumably, draws an income or will make money as its investments prosper. In other words, he "buys" his "carbon offsets" from himself, through a transaction designed to boost his own investments and return a profit to himself . To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy "carbon offsets" through Generation Investment Management - he buys stocks. Fascinating. So, as Dr. Global Warming travels the world in his private jet while spending 20 times the average American on energy for his home, all the time telling us its okay because he’s buying carbon offsets, he’s actually purchasing these investments from himself . Furthermore, and maybe more important, Gore stands to benefit financially in a potentially huge way if more and more people buy into this junk science . Isn’t that special? Yet, it is not clear that Gore’s money is going to purchase carbon offsets at all. Riehl reported: Here's a list indicating what it takes to make money along with Al. Funds associated with these companies have placed millions of dollars under Al Gore's control . And, as you'll see below, Gore's selection for the US President of GIM might raise a few eyebrows as well. AFLAC INC - AQUANTIVE INC - AUTODESK INC - BECTON DICKINSON & CO BLACKBAUD INC - GENERAL ELECTRIC CO - GREENHILL & CO INC - JOHNSON CTLS INC - LABORATORY CORP AMER HLDGS - METABOLIX INC - NORTHERN TR CORP - NUVEEN INVTS INC -STAPLES INC - SYSCO CORP - TECHNE CORP - UBS AG - VCA ANTECH INC - WATERS CORP - WHOLE FOODS MKT INC According to their own documents, GIM intends to invest in, or buy companies poised to cash in on Global Warming concerns . Putting this in perspective, for years the left and their media minions have posited that George W. Bush started war with Iraq to benefit the company Vice President Dick Cheney used to run, Halliburton, as well as Bush’s oil tycoon friends. In fact, there have been times when you couldn’t swing a dead cat in any pressroom in this nation without hitting a reporter working on such a story. Yet, as the former Vice President continues to plug global warming as a coming crisis in need of immediate attention, the same media completely ignore his obvious financial conflicts of interest. No liberal media bias there. However, as Riehl pointed out, this story is even juicier: To add insult to injury, Gore chose Peter S. Knight, an old friend and colleague some are sure to recall, as the US President of GIM. Peter S. Knight, formerly Managing Director Met West Financial, lawyer, Chief of Staff for Senator Al Gore (D-TN) from 1977-1989, and Campaign Manager for President Clinton's successful re-election in 1996, is President of Generation U.S. This would be him: Reno Rejects Inquiry Into a Clinton Aide Atty Gen Janet Reno decides against any further investigation of Peter Knight, Pres Clinton's 1996 campaign manager in connection with office building development in nation's capital; such an investigation could have led to naming independent counsel to look further into activities of Knight, who is also former top assistant to Vice Pres Al Gore. Yes, thanks to Janet Reno, no one ever found out how $20,000 in stock turned up in an account for Knight's then 13 year old child . Dispute over Democratic Party campaign-financing shifts to Zachary Knight, 13-year-old son of Peter S Knight, Clinton-Gore campaign chairman in 1996, who was given $20,000 in stock by William Haney 3d, chairman of Molten Metal Technology Inc; Republicans believe gift, which came after father was named chairman of campaign, was really payment to Knight, who had worked as $7,000-per-month lobbyist for company; Knight denies involvement in any impropriety; photo Riehl accurately asked: If Gore's motivation in pushing Global Warming is so altruistic, was it really necessarily for the already wealthy Gore to establish a multi-million dollar corporation in England to cash in? And given the history of Gore and Knight, are these people we should trust to drive a re-vamping of the world economy at the same time they're lining their pockets because of our much smaller carbon footprints? Riehl marvelously concluded: If Al Gore is successful with this latest scheme, Gore and his cronies are going to be much more $green$ than most of the earth . And the only green in this for you and me is the kind that accompanies envy as Gore trucks around on private jets putting dollars to offset his extravagance into a cash machine generating profits on the backs of the middle class with misrepresented science that doesn't deserve to be called science at all. Meanwhile, a complacent media, rather than hounding Gore over his financial conflicts of interest, continue to shill for this conman’s junk science. When you add it all up, this is a flimflam of epic proportions: First, Gore sets up a company that will invest in other companies that will benefit from global warming alarmism Second, Gore gets some Hollywood types to fund and produce a movie designed to scare the c-c-carbon out of the population Third, Gore travels the world promoting this movie, while pushing the view that a cataclysm is imminent if the world doesn't immediately act Fourth, an adoring media falls for the con hook, line, and sinker. Rather than debunking the flaws in the theories, the media promote every word of it while advancing the concept that Gore's views represent those of an overwhelming majority of scientists Fifth, scared governments and citizens across the globe invest in alternative energy programs driving up the shares of companies Gore's group has already invested in Sixth, Gore and his cronies make billions as they laugh all the way to the bank at the stupidity of their fellow citizens America -- what a country!

The fact that Gore creates a carbon credit company, scares the public (Inconvenient Truth movie and lectures) into thinking they should buy carbon credits to off set their lifestyle is a a variation on the old fashioned shake down or protection racket. Then he turns around and basically uses the money he illicitly received to invest in companies that 1. get tax preference for alternative energy (which btw he and his buddies got passed into law.) and 2. Personally profits from the proceeds of the money that was not his to begin with. Now if Gore was being sincere, he would have formed an alternative energy company and then solicted investors to buy shares in the company, who would then "share" in the profits of the company. So basically, Al Gore and his buddies are crooks on the order of an underworld crime family. “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” – Marcus Aurelius login or register to post comments » steviep831 Says: March 2, 2007 - 14:06 The Liberal Handbook: Chapter 1, page 1 paragraph 1 sentence 1.

You'll buy stock in a company even if you knew that for example they funded jihadists that kill American troops, just as long as you turn a profit? Double wow. For a man who has dedicated his life to the ruin of George W. Bush, I find it very interesting that it's ok for Soros to have interest in Halliburton but not Cheney or Bush...

Let me understand your thinking here if that's at all possible: It's unethical for a president and a vice president to bring the nation to war in order to profit from it (please bear in mind that I don't believe this to be the case). Yet, it's just good capitalism for liberals who are opposed to the war and find the entire episode to be immoral to themselves invest in the same companies they claim the president and the vice president have financial interests in. Is this what you're saying? Isn't that akin to believing that the folks who make real snuff films are guilty of murder, but those that own stock in the companies that produce them are just smart businessmen and good capitalists?

Lol! login or register to post comments » Dave R Says: March 2, 2007 - 15:22 bt, I thought it fitting, given that somebody articulate and with a fairly high amount of business smarts out there needed to take on the self-appointed Exhalted Most-High Priest of the Church of Global Warming who, in reality, is really just a big, bloated & wasteful fat guy.

If Gore, however, was a smidgen right of center, thank God, he isn’t: it would be otherwise. As one who upchucks when watching the leftist media, I must ask. Has the leftist-media mentioned that Gore’s not so humble abode devours energy without thought of energy conservation? login or register to post comments » QueenMum Says: March 2, 2007 - 17:45 Well, well, well.

All things being equal, global warming would have been a story for about a year, until the media started checking the facts. They would have if Halliburton was the company urging people to buy these offsets instead, since it's Gore, they let all this slip under the noses. The media is more responsible for this than Gore is. If they had half the "intellectual curiosity" they accuse President Bush of not having, they'd be on this thing. Of course they don't so it's left up to organizations to debunk this piece-meal, which is a long and cumbersome project. login or register to post comments » JR Says: March 3, 2007 - 12:40 Yes, the media holds a great deal of responsibility for ignoring Gore's role in this. However, the public is also at fault. "MSM published it so it must be true." When did people stop thinking for themselves and start naively believing what ever MSM decides to feed to them? I thank God for my dear mother, who taught me never to take anything at face value. If John or Jane Q. Public would just do a little research and check out all the facts before making a decision, then MSM would be forced to act more ethically. Sadly, people in general just seem to be becoming lazier. Research takes work and many people just do not want to take the time. login or register to post comments » Comment viewing options Flat list - collapsed Flat list - expanded Threaded list - collapsed Threaded list - expanded Date - newest first Date - oldest first 10 comments per page 30 comments per page 50 comments per page 70 comments per page 90 comments per page On topic comments All comments Insightful comments Select your preferred way to display the comments and click "Save settings" to activate your changes. --> Navigation feedback/tips User login Username: Password: Create new account Request new password Browse archives « March 2007 Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Help Us Fight Media Bias Help NewsBusters upgrade our servers by making a donation via our secure form .
