Those who are not cognitively challenged or pathologically gullible may find it hard to take leftist climate ideology seriously. However, the money involved is plenty serious.
Al Gore has milked the global warming hoax for a fortune:
His wild prediction at Davos that Earth faces ‘rain bombs’ and ‘boiling oceans’ is just his latest in decades of climate alarmism.
At the same time, the former VP has been at the forefront of green technology investment that has seen his wealth balloon to an estimated $330 million.
Four years after losing to George W Bush in 2000, Gore set up Generation Investment Management with former Goldman Sachs Managing Director and close friend David W. Blood.
The mission statement of the investment firm, where Gore collects $2 million in a monthly salary, is to back companies that are making strides towards going green. The firm is worth around $36 billion.
The Goracle’s take is chump change compared to what the left-wing globalist ruling class expects us to pay to indulge their self-serving doctrine that the weather is somehow a problem and they can control it:
As Daily Signal reported last summer,
Lawmakers grilled climate czar John Kerry on Capitol Hill…
Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., said that through much of earth’s history there was more carbon in the atmosphere than today and questioned Kerry’s statements about the exact amount of carbon that’s appropriate.
“In December of 2022 you told The Washington Post we need to remove 1.6 trillion tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via direct air capture, the direct cost for that is about $1,000 per ton or $1.6 quadrillion,” Perry said. …
Kerry said he disagreed with the characterization of the issue and asked Perry why so many other countries would sign on to the reduction of carbon emissions.
“Because they are grifting like you are,” Perry said.
The global warming hoax may constitute the biggest grift in the history of the world. Under liberal rule, increasingly massive amounts of wealth created by Americans will be redistributed to other countries in the name of climate reparations.
But don’t worry about the expense. If taxes don’t cover it, Democrats can just print the money.
