Algore runs around causing panic about the environment, and suggests folks buy carbon credits to offset their energy use, and by golly, he knows just where to get them! He's benefitting directly from the 'climate change' scare, and has the cojones to accuse anyone who disagrees of being in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry.

There are billions for the faithful, but zip for the skeptics.
You must take the vows to be accepted by the Church of Goreon.
