WE WILL CREATE GREEN 'NEW DEAL' SAYS GORE Global campaigner calls for 'sustainable capitalism'

For a man with the very survival of human civilisation weighing heavily on his broad shoulders, Al Gore cuts a surprisingly relaxed figure. With a Diet Coke in hand, and chewing gum rolling around inside his mouth, one of the great "what ifs" of modern political history strolls into the boardroom of his London-based asset management firm, located in one of the city's "most environmentally friendly buildings".

Gore is in the capital, as he is every few months, to spend a couple of days meeting with his partners at Generation Investment Management, the "sustainability-driven" asset management firm he set up in 2004 with David Blood, who, as the former chief executive of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, once managed investments worth $325bn (£232bn). As is the case everywhere, the numbers are somewhat smaller these days, but the firm they both wanted to call Blood and Gore (sadly, it was overruled by the rest of the board) still manages a pot of investments worth billions, according to Blood.

As chairman, Gore, 61, says he spends about "one day a week" working for Generation, but his press handlers won't expand on what investments he holds or remuneration he receives. . .

Now, just so we're clear, when he says "Capitalism", he means "Communism", right?

And when he says "Sustainable", he means "Intended to fail and plunge western civlization into a new Dark Age", right?

Sustainable = Any energy use by our socialist overlords, no matter how seemingly exsessive

Unsustainable = Any energy use by the rest of us.

I’m betting their going to try to bluff this out,
they’ll ignore the exposure of the fraud and charge full steam ahead
with the full cooperation of the Marxist Media.

The self-styled neo-nobility can’t stand the idea of the serfs having the same lifestyle as the nobility do.

“sustainable capitalism”?

Gore is set to become the first green billionaire.

Cap and trade will certainly sustain him and his family. But what about the rest of us?

I say that we prosecute this idiot for his criminal fraud to dupe the American people out of their security, treasure and very lives in order to worship the demon Gaia.

Who gets to determine what is “sustainable”, Al? You? Don’t make me laugh. You flunked out of Divinity School for God’s sake! (pardon the pun)

"these idiots don’t realize they’re risking their lives"

Who is risking their lives?

Not ALGORE who was taught by his mother and father to land on his feet regardless of which political position he takes.

The new last week about the hackers on the HADLEY GRU database will be interesting to refute but the GORSTER know how better than even his DADDY.

Last September Gore talked the Church of England into investing $225 million in his investment fund. According to Canada Free Press:

[What makes the investment so risky is that GIM stands to make a killing only if the U.S. government cracks down on carbon dioxide emissions.]
