On Sunday, CBS News correspondent Leslie Stahl asked Al Gore on the television show 60 Minutes what he thinks of people like Vice President Dick Cheney who doubt that global warming is caused by human activity.
"I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view, they're almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona, and those who believe the earth is flat," replied Gore. "That demeans them a little bit, but it's not that far off."
However, Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy advisor for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s, says the former vice president can enjoy his "flat earth fantasies" for a few months, but in the end, the world will be laughing at him.
"The alarmists are alarmed, the panic mongers are panicking, the scare mongers are scared; the Gores are gored. Why? Because global warming stopped ten years ago; it hasn't got warmer since 1998," he points out. "And in fact in the last seven years, there has been a downturn in global temperatures equivalent on average to about [or] very close to one degree Fahrenheit per decade. We're actually in a period ... of global cooling."
Monckton contends Gore is now "panicking" because he has staked his reputation as a former American VP on "telling the world that we're all doomed unless we shut down 90 percent of the Western economies." He also contends that Gore is the largest "global-warming profiteer."
Gore's group The Alliance for Climate Protection is currently launching a new $300 million ad campaign that demands reforms in environmental law to help reduce the supposed "climate crisis." But Monckton points out that in the U.K., Gore is not allowed to speak in public about his "green investment company" because to do so would violate racketeering laws by "peddling a false prospectus." He says that fact came about after a British high court found Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, riddled with errors.
Monckton challenged Gore to an internationally televised debate on climate change last year.
lol from a flat earth kind of typical white person.
Wake up America!
For anyone who hasn’t seen it...
Please watch “ The Great Global Warming Swindle” available online.
Its from BBC television and runs about 70 Minutes.
Guaranteed to make you mad at the stupidity and unwarranted attention of this whole issue.
Spread the word...
Call him Mr Hedge Fund.
I loved when Sarkozy walked out on a dumbfounded Leslie Stahl.
That was great.
algore convicted of promoting fraud in the UK!
algore is right to be panicked like any other snake oil salesman who has been caught in his lie.
So, how much money has Gore made off the Global Warming hysteria so far?
“”The alarmists are alarmed, the panic mongers are panicking, the scare mongers are scared; the GORES ARE GORED. Why? Because global warming stopped ten years ago; it hasn’t got warmer since 1998,””
ROTFLMAO!!!!
Is Algore a Prophet or a Profit? I think a Profiteer.

Algore is going on tour this year with a $300 million budget. The business is multi billion. Many multi billions.
You can draw your own conclusion.
Gore will not debate. That is one reason that even if he is offered the rat nomination for POTUS, he will decline.
I’d love to see Gore go the way of the Clintons...
