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".

By Garry White and Rowena Mason 13 Dec 2009

Al Gore is said to be the world's first 'carbon billionaire' Photo: AP What you can be sure of is that the move toward a more environmentally sustainable future is an unstoppable trend – and Mr Gore is unlikely to be the first to get very rich from environmental policy.

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.

The Best of Al Bore:

"The Polar Ice Cap Will Be GONE in 5 Years!"

Click on the image below to see Al Gore claim that the ice cap will vanish in five years!

(It will not. It is thicker and larger than ever.)


"The center of the Earth is millions of degrees..."

The center of the earth is estimated to actually be between only 4,000 and 7,000 degrees.

In defense of "cap and trade", a family member who leans slightly liberal said "but the world cannot continue to devastate the rain forests and dump waste into the rivers and oceans.

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.

Ask the family member what she thinks about paying "big air" for the privilage of breathing.

“Once you price CO2 and put a price on it, you find, as you would with any other product, it tends to be rationed. We as a people on this planet have lived under the false concept that air and water were free. And we’ve learned with a planet of 7 billion people, that we have to ration these precious goods. And the good old price system is the best way to do it.”

Richard Sandor, father of the carbon trading market.
