Can anyone explain in normal terms what the cap and trade thing consists of, please?

I particularly like how he huffs and puffs into the microphone so we all know just how offended he is

It reminded me of his performance in the presidential debates.

Well, we see old Al is still rolling his eyes and sighing loudly, affronted that anyone should have the nerve to challenge his god-like pronouncements. He’s just as charming as ever.

so what does Congresswoman Blackburn know? Do every penny Algore makes going to non profits?

When will the other show drop on this line of questioning?

BTW- Congresswoman Blackburn is a fine looking Southern woman.

This might be more interesting if the radio program didn’t play at the same time.

It says to turn the volumn down, but I can’t find how to do that. I think it is klunky.

Has anybody investigated Algore's claims that he has given "every penny" he's made to whatever non-profit he mentions?

No doubt he gets a tax break from whatever donations he has made.

He may very well be double-benefitting. He's making money and getting a tax break at the same time.

I did a search for the non-profit that Weird Algore says he's given all his profits to and it turns out Algore is Chairman of the Board of that non-profit. Here's the link.

About Alliance for Climate Protection

There's a link at the website for "employment opportunities" so apparently at least some people associated with this outfit receives a paycheck.

I just wonder if Weird Algore is one of the employees.

Create a fake crisis and scam and cash in. A lot of this is brought to you buy venture capitalist scum on Sand Hill Road in SillyCon Valley. They scammed the public in 1999 with the dot bomb scam.

I did some more research, and as I suspected, contributions to The Alliance for Climate Protection are indeed tax deductible.

So I'm halfway to proving myself right. Weird Algore is at least benefitting by receiving a tax break for his donation. Now the question is, is he taking a salary as Chairman of the Board of The Alliance for Climate Protection. This might prover harder to substantiate.

From the website:

The Alliance for Climate Protection is a 501(c)3 organization and contributions made to the Alliance are tax deductible.

Was al gore working on cap and trade 30 years ago when he also invented the internet?

“An Inconvenient Truth,” viewers are asked, “Are you ready to change the way you live”? Following this line of thinking, the movie’s web site suggests many ways that you can “reduce your impact at home,” including using less heating and air conditioning, buying expensive fluorescent light bulbs, using less hot water, using a clothesline rather than a dryer, carpooling, flying less and buying cost-inefficient hybrid cars

Tennessee Center for Policy Research reported that Gore’s Nashville mansion consumed more than 20 times the electricity than the national average. Last August, the Gore mansion burned more than twice the electricity in a single month as the average American family uses in an entire year. Gore’s heated pool house alone uses more than $500 in electricity every month.

I believe Gore also “purchases” his carbon credits (to assuage his own “guilt” over his massive energy footprint) through either this or one of his other companies, basically costing him little or nothing.
