Al Gore got beat in his run for President.
Al Gore was never any great shakes as a politician, He got his job as Senator because his father had it and he used his father’s connections.
So he got beat, he had the prestige of being a Vice president of this country, of being an ex-Senator, he had plenty of money and a great pension from having served in the Senate. He could have gone aay an lived a good life and had some respect.
But Noooo: That didnt suit Al. He wanted to be a wheel. He wanted to show the voters who didnt want him for President what a brilliant man they had lost.
So he jumped in this phony science scam. Now he didnt know anything about science or Global Warming, but someone showed him the dollar signs, and stroked him.
Somebody is behind Al Gore. Al isnt smart enough to work this scam on his own. Who is the guide behind Gores stupid actions?
Listen to the interview of Senator Inhofe that was posted on Hot Air Yesterday... Inhofe offers his theory about the answer to your exact question about half way through the second piece where he discusses the roots of the scam (the interview is posted in two halves of approximately 7 minutes each.

Here's the Readers Digest of it...Inhofe figures it was ALL hatched by the UN. Since the biggest funder of the UN is the United States, being able to live off the avails of the climate scam would have let the UN call their own shots on their activities without being beholden or needing to worry about the opinion of the States on anything. He didn't say this but in my view, if the UN hatched the plan and then brought the Goracle in as a partner... and we know that the UN is principally made up of country states that are at complete cross purposes to the US, that means that the Goracle is not only a scam artist, he’s a traitor, no?
