Al Gore Shows Us The Way To Make Green From Being Green
Al Gore has made lots of money by lecturing us all about being green. Some say he's become the world's first "carbon billionaire".

One great business to be in as we move into a greener future is the copper industry. Copper is going to help us cut down on carbon.
Al Gore: World cares more about Paris Hilton than saving the planet In his pre-Budget report last week, Alistair Darling announced that electric vehicles would be made exempt from company car tax from 2010 and that a 100pc first-year capital allowance would be introduced for electric vans.
This means buying such vans would be taxed as an investment in the business, rather than a company vehicle. Although electric cars are often used by high-profile "green" celebrities to drive to their private jets, they have not really caught on with the wider public.
Despite the recession, more than 900,000 vehicles have been sold to businesses in the UK so far this year, but as little as 50 of these are believed to have been electric.
According to research by the European Copper Institute, hybrid cars need a staggering 33kg of copper in their construction about the weight of an average 12-year-old child. This compares with 20kg 25kg of copper in a conventional car.

Looks like they're really starting to dislike AlGore in the UK now..
This line of reasoning is from the "Reality Based Community"
Algore: The Bernie Madoff of Carbon Credits.
The center of the earth is estimated to actually be between only 4,000 and 7,000 degrees.

My response to her was "but what part of Cap and Trade is it that you think will address these problems?"
She was dumbstruck.
Cap and Trade is a bait and switch to capitalize on "environmental pathos" to suck capital out of an unsuspecting world. Al Gore and the Enviro-Robber-Barons are essentially saying "the environment is under attack, give us your money!"
They are like a charity that shows pictures of starving children so they can reap contributions that somehow never get deliver to said starving children.
You mean little ‘ol me can start up my very own carbon credit trading scam - I mean, scheme - I mean, company?
What a marvelously designed world. The more people, the more CO2, the more CO2, the better plants thrive, and then more oxygen, thus the better animals thrive....wow
