Seeing how the polar bear population made a rebound, and years ago we were told they would surly be extinct by now this all does seem a little funny. Remember acid rain? I actually do remember being told that by the year 2000 most our East coast forests would all be dead! So how are the baby seals doing? What about the Alyeska pipeline which will destroy the caribou population according to all the expert testimony? Environmentalism is a business and political issue that has some merit but is 90% BS and abused by dorks like Gore. Do people who really care about the environment realize that scams like his carbon offsets only discredit their cause, cost money, and deliver nothing?
In Gore's case, carbon offsets they make money and deliver profits to him through Generation Investment Management, whose chairman is . . . Al Gore.
