Mystery, climate-saving invention to be unveiled at swanky dinner

While some past pronouncements of world-changing inventions haven't exactly panned out as promised, this latest one will at least have a pretty large stage on which to prove itself, with none other than Al Gore and others paying £1,000 or more apiece in the audience. As you might expect, however, things are being kept as vague as possible ahead of the big unveiling, which is set to go down later today in London. One of the few apparently clued in in the matter, British Inventors' Society founder Kane Kramer, would only go so far as to describe it as "a new science, a Super Material," adding that, "It would be 80 per cent cheaper than any alternative means of production, and it will contribute in a major way to reducing climate change." So, it's "something," but we'll just have to wait and see if it delivers as advertised.

I think you have just SAVED the planet. :-)

Has anyone heard a ‘peep’ about this, now that the SWANKY DINNER is over?

[UCANSEE2]

Thanks.

It is looking like the London Independent had it wrong when it quoted Kane Kramer, the founder of the British Inventors’ Society, about his expectations that Gore would use the forum to announce a breakthrough clean energy micro-technology that would “contribute in a major way to reducing climate change.”

I wonder if those SWANKY FOLKS will cancel their checks to ALIGOREY’S FORTUNE FORUM?????

It’s sad to see all this Old Money and an average IQ of 85.

“Mystery, climate-saving invention to be unveiled at swanky dinner.”

First of all, the title is wrong. It should be “Mystery, climate-saving swanky invention to be unveiled at dinner”.

Hint?...Bill Clinton will be “unveiling” it.

Did someone say swanky?

I’ll let them cover my roof with it for a test!

Bad idea - close proximity to it can cause sudden weight gain and increase delusions of grandeur. This is a known fact because it was tested on Algore's house first.

;’) We were really expecting SwankyI...

You can send my Nobel Peace Prize to PO Box...

Nah, just forget it... after having one given to a couple of terrorists, a scam artist, and an ex-presidential idiot, it's too devalued to take up a space on my mantle... I'd rather have a picture of my kids there. Besides, I'd have to dust it.

It's a Carbon Dioxide Generator!

I may be delusional but I’d take a grandeur two, or three, if they want to put it on my roof.
