Al Gore as i'm sure everyone here is aware made that nobel prize winning film about global warming. Now the film contained errors, pointing them all out here is a waste of time as it's been done over and over in film and text. However what some people may not know is what Al Gore did shortly before he publicised the whole global warming scare.

Firstly lets just take a quick look at something. We all know about supply and demand, if you can create the demand for anything then the supply will make you money. The more demand the more you have to supply and the mre money you make.

Because of global warming we have companies selling "carbon credits". These companies basically take money in exchange for the amount of carbon you produce, claim they spend it on say saving a rainforest and make you feel better about yourself. Even governments are buying into these things.



Several years before Al Gore started his nobel winning film he set up a company named Generation Investment Management LLP. This company was a carbon credit company. Basically he is co-founder and a chairman on the board. When he buys carbon credits he buys them from himself. This is something that you don't hear often in mainstream journalism.

Now imagine you have a carbon credit company. You have all of this supply (although technically they aren't supplying anything) now all you need is the demand! What better way to create demand then a film, scaring the living daylights out of people and making them feel guilty?

It's the perfect con, you aren't actually buying anything, he had no warehouse full of carbon here, he is selling an idea, he is taking money for something before he did the job. He takes the money and apparently does things, although i would be very interested to go over this companies books and check exactly where that money goes.

Al Gore is nothing more than a con man.

...he's one of them. Junk science and geopolitics. The LaRouche team exposes his brutality in a dossier from last month:

'Covered in Gore' (.pdf, 42 pgs.)

Far from disappearing after that election, Gore made a breakthrough into the London off-shore looting scheme known as hedge funds, which have been largely responsible for the takeover and take-down of what remains of the U.S. productive economy. His Generation Management hedge fund which specializes in trading carbon swaps, is a swindle to loot a dying economy, and was complimented by the 2006 Hollywood fiction, An Inconvenient Truth. That fraudulent set of alleged facts was unleashed in force against the Congress and the public in 2007 at the very moment when the mortgage related terminal collapse of the U.S. and world banking system had begun. After being awarded for the climate fiction by Hollywood and the Nobel Prize Committee, Gore was again welcomed into the open arms of the British and hired by then-Treasury Chief Gordon Brown, to advise the British government on climate change.

Finally, on July 22, after setting forth a frankly genocidal vision of the United States shifting to 100% renewable energy in the next ten years, Gore announced that his role is to “enlarge the political space within which this issue can be addressed,” to encourage the next president to take up population control, and “zero-growth” policies...


From 1997 - 1998 Gore and his cronies moved viciously to ensure that South Africa did not succeed in attaining affordable drugs... He helped impose sanctions and wildly claimed that the government of South Africa was disobeying international law, even though the World Trade Organization has permitted patent rights under conditions of a national emergency, meaning, that like a true typical southern racist, Al Gore lied. Only when South Africa agreed to tear from itself a pound of flesh, did Gore withdraw his threats. 14 million South Africans died, and by now the number has been guaranteed to increase. Gore tried to justify his actions by proposing a total of $170 million to address the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Do the math, and what it amounts to is a mere $8 a person, or better stated, approximately enough money to assist the South African population with AIDS drugs for one day.

This is true. I can't believe people think that Al Gore is a liar. Al Gore opened up the public to the realities of Global Warming. He is not a con artist. This thread is just right-wing rhetoric IMO.

Right wing? Swing and a miss matey because i'm not right wing lol. Next you'll be saying i must support the death penalty Love the stereotypes.

I know the science of global warming, i've heard all the arguements and there isn't anything conclusive in regards as to whether we are causing it. In the past CO2 emissions have been higher than they are now.

However let me just ask you. He set up a company selling carbon credits, then makes a film trying to create demand for these credits (note that wasn't in the film but it's a big byproduct of it). Dont' you think that's just slightly coincidental? Maybe to much so?

Actually there is quite a bit of new data showing that the outer planets are going through a period of global warming as well. The average temp on the outer planets has also risen about 3 degrees farenheit. The recent data from the Ulysses project shows solar winds are almost nonexistant, which is causing a weakening of the magnetospheres allowing in more solar radiation, thus warming the planets.

That does not mean that we are not helping it along, and that we should not try to decrease CO2 emissions, as this might prolong the effects after the solar winds pick back up. But it does seem to indicate that we are not the primary cause.

George Bush conned the USA and a few other countries, Al Gore has helped con the entire world, backed by the UN. So yeah, Al Gore is rating higher on my chart.

I wouldn't call him the GREATEST CON MAN of all time, but he's definitely in the top 3.
