I can only hope that Al invested his “Earnings” off his movie and lecture circuit in the stock and housing markets.

See Fallen Angels by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, and Mike Flynn. This is a spoof of Greens and global warming hysterics written way back in 1991. The setting is a near-future in which CO2-hating Greenies are running things and have inadvertently caused a new ice age, which they blame on renegade astronauts who refuse to come down from a self-sufficient space colony.

"The novel takes aim at several targets of ridicule: Senator William Proxmire, environmentalists, and mystics, such as one character who believes that one cannot freeze to death in the snow because ice is a crystal and 'crystals are healing.' It also mocks the usage of environmentalist ideas in science education, which greatly helps the main characters (for example, one government "expert" cited in a news article believes that the astronauts must be superhumanly strong, based on a photograph of a weightless astronaut easily handling heavy construction equipment)."

Fat Al is a liar. But liberals stand in line to listen to his lies. Just some of them . I won the election. Global warming, invented the Internet, was in inspiration for a love story, and on and on. but the mess he started with the supreme court and the problems that resulted from that are almost un forgivable
