Is there anything that green guru Al Gore does that's actually green?
We know he's an energy hog, using way more than his "fair share" of energy to heat his mansions. We know he flies around on carbon-spewing private jets.
Turns out he doesn't even invest green, even though he would like you to think he does.
According to the New York Post:
The “green-friendly” investment firm co-founded and run by former Vice President Al Gore, 74, owns a portfolio of more than $26 billion worth of shares in nearly two dozen companies that were found to have increased greenhouse gas emissions in recent years, according to a report.
Gore, whose Oscar-winning film “An Inconvenient Truth” cemented his status as the most prominent doomsayer on climate change, chairs the London-based Generation Investment Management, which touts a “stated emphasis on sustainable investment options.”
But a recent analysis by Bloomberg News found that Generation’s Global Equity fund, which numbers a total of 42 companies, includes 18 firms which emitted increasingly more greenhouse gases annually between 2015 and 2021.
Bloomberg ranked Generation, which has $40.4 billion worth of assets under its management, as among the companies that owned the greatest share of greenhouse gas-emitting firms when compared to other funds that placed a priority on so-called ESG — environmental, social and governance — investing.
So in other words, he wants you to invest green, buying into those ESG funds that virtue-signal their clean, green credentials, same as he wants you to freeze in winter on that frozen wind turbine power nonproduction, take the bus, and eat bugs, but don't dare ask him to do those things.

EXCERPT:
In determining which companies to invest in, Generation, which employs around 110 workers, examines factors such as the size of the firm’s carbon footprint and the diversity of its corporate board, including female representation.
Generation’s Global Equity fund includes blue-chip firms such as Adidas, Microsoft, Amazon, Carlisle and Charles Schwab.
Microsoft is one company that has seen its greenhouse gas emissions increase, according to Bloomberg News.
Becton Dickinson & Co, a medical device maker listed in Generation’s Global Equity fund, has seen its carbon footprint grow by more than 20% between 2015 and 2021, according to Bloomberg’s analysis.
Amazon, the e-commerce goliath, is the biggest climate culprit. The Seattle-based giant only began releasing data about the amount of greenhouse gas it emits in 2019.
In 2021, as Amazon’s profits soared during the pandemic, so did the tonnage of greenhouse gases that it released into the air, according to the company’s own sustainability report. That year, Amazon’s carbon footprint grew by one-fifth.
So what? All is forgiven or will be.
“He means well”. That’s all that matters with Liberals.
What became of Mrs. Gore ?
Who cares.
RE: All is forgiven or will be.
All will NOT be forgiven as long as Al and his WEF friends insist on imposing their ideology on us.
She lives in California in a mansion by the sea.
The only green Al Gore and others like him is the green they see in money.
It’s all about the money
She left him had a good pay off too.
Owns a portfolio of more than $26 billion worth.
Everybody understand his gig now.
The saps the took the bait slam closet door turns light out beats head on wall.
It’s almost natural for people in large groups to fear civilization ending events. Throughout history there have been earthquakes, tidal waves, fires, insects infestations,plagues, volcanic eruptions and being overrun by hordes of nearby tribes. The frequency of these things happening would make fear a survival advantage. If people are scared of disasters they would be more likely to escape them and tge tendency would live to further generations. Later it manifests itself as the world is going to end in 1999, the mayan calendar, the cold war, revelation, nostradamus etc.
Then people look for a leader who can foresee the threats and take care of them before they become civilization ending. There’s always someone who confidently steps up with a clear vision of the future. In this case it’s Al Gore and his ilk. They claim that they know the answers and have the solutions.
