LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Association of Corporate Counsel:

WHAT: The Honorable Al Gore, Jr., 45th Vice President of the United States, will be the keynote speaker at the Southern California Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel's (ACCA-SoCal) 12th Annual Gala Dinner & Pro Bono Silent Auction. Every year, the chapter hosts the Annual ACCA-SoCal Gala Dinner & Pro Bono Silent Auction to raise funds for deserving non-profit legal assistance organizations.

The subject of Climate Change has evolved far beyond a mere matter of general interest. Federal and state legislatures are increasingly focusing on controlling greenhouse gas emissions, compelling energy conservation, promoting alternative energy sources and otherwise beginning to sort through how we as a society address and control our impact on the global climate. Climate change is affecting your business, your clients and your life, whether you know it yet or not.

Vice President Gore will lead a stunning presentation, based on his Academy Award winning film - An Inconvenient Truth, that both admonishes and inspires as he confronts environmental issues that are impacting our global civilization today. Mr. Gore is set to release his next book, The Assault on Reason, in May 2007.

The dinner is open to the public. For more information, please visit www.socal.acca.com.

WHEN: Friday, May 4, 2007 Silent Auction and cocktails at 4:30 PM, Dinner at 6:00 PM

WHERE: The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites California Ballroom 404 South Figueroa Street Los Angeles, California 90071

In addition, the chapter offers its members numerous opportunities to take advantage of the Association of Corporate Counsel's global resource network.

Gore knows his "market."

Enviros might attend looking for St. Gore's beneficence.

But this is a sales convention.

Gore will be soliciting California corps to buy carbon credits from his own company.

The carbon credit, "kyoto by another name", fraud continues...

Big business, activists are finding middle ground on the green scene

It's not just Al Gore. It's even business magazines with their inherent adoration of free markets, private equity and complex tax shelters. Repeat after me, as does the April 2 Fortune: Green is good, green is good, green is good.

The imaginatively titled "Green Is Good" cover story argues that significant changes surround us as businesses become more environmentally conscious, environmentalists more inclined toward market-based answers to problems and the political system more sympathetic to the granola crowd. Much attention here is given the pro-green push of California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (who concedes in an interview that many in his Republican Party remain dubious).

Carbon credit trading is coming!

Already a proven fraud in Europe.

A boon to the Democrats' backers, the brokerages.

It won't do anything to reduce "carbon".

And incentivizes fraud, deceit, false reporting, off-shoring money, hiding.

Here it comes!

They don't care.

It's about the money.

The Kyoto scam, the Milken crowd, all coming back to America.

Oh nooooo, nooooo----not here! Why can't he just stay away from us! It's already bad enough that Ahnold has jumped on the global warming bandwagon. We're doomed.

A shakedown in the making. Every company who's house council attends this event needs to fire them immediately. They are clearly compromised and not able to properly perform their function to protect their client from a simple shakedown artist.
