Poor fellow...he only has $100 million. He is not a billionaire...but he's like to be.

Won't you help him achieve his goal. Make sure that carbon trading is established on an international level so his companies can get a rake off.

Gore conflict of interest publicised

Buried deep in a Newsweek profile of Al Gore's new book is an accusation that staff of the world's 'first carbon billionaire' tried to get a scientist to stay silent on a promising new method of combating the effects of CO2, because it would undermine support for carbon trading markets and tough emissions legislation.

The devastating new claim is in this paragraph of the Newsweek story:

"If we feed the biology and manage grasslands appropriately, we could sequester as much carbon as we emit," says Timothy LaSalle, CEO of the Rodale Institute, who presented at two summits. The political clash is this: if you tell people soils can be managed to suck up lots of our carbon emissions, it sounds like a get-out-of-jail-free card, and could decrease what little enthusiasm there is for reducing those emissions—as one of Gore's assistants told LaSalle in asking him to dial down his estimate.

Given Gore's heavy investment in carbon trading, and his instrumental role in supporting the political sledgehammer to usher the new regime in at Copenhagen, the question has to be asked whether Gore's people truly want CO2 neutralised, or whether they merely want to enjoy the money and power associated with appearing to combat it.

Gore has been fighting a rearguard action to quell growing media cynicism, after comments by Marc Morano's Climate Depot hit the front page of the New York Times this week

Right - and the denialists like Judy keep denying the "conflict of interest" which runs the fossil fuel greed to maintain the status quoe - what a HYPICRIT. If someone (like Gore) can make money HELPING THE PLANET - then more POWER to them!!! Judy acts as if making money is an "evil thing" ...which it is NOT. If we can have a prospersous economy wich ALSO helps the planet - then I'm all for it!!! It is LAME to continue the "Gore conspericy theory" which the denialists contstantly rely on since their "science" on the matter is lacking!!! Attack the messenger when the message itself can't be addressed!!!
