What has Al Gore done with all that money? Did Al Gore profit from his movie %26#039;An Inconvenient Truth%26#039;?
What did he do with his share of the money?
Does he donate money to causes that will reduce pollution, increase recycling, save energy?

I%26#039;m just wondering, seems like the rich get richer and the rules/changes he is suggesting that we make don%26#039;t prescribe to him...

Lets just say Al Gore is an an Idiot !

%26quot;100 percent of the profits from the book and the movie [will go] to a new bipartisan educational campaign to further spread the message about global warming.%26quot;

Fuel for his jet

not give it back thats for sure?

Build huge homes that consume approx. 7x the amount of electricity of the avg. home. Oh, and maybe buy some carbon credits to offset it - translated - paid for someone in Africa to go and plant some trees to offset his energy consumption.

Jet fuel

he donated the entire amount ALONG with his million dollar prize for the Nobel Prize to research and support.

Typical case of %26quot;killing the messenger%26quot;. People who don%26#039;t like what he has to say on climate are now calling him a hypocrite because he flies around in a jet.

Like Galileo told the inquisition %26quot;E pur si muove%26quot; (and yet it moves), climate change there is, whether man made or natural or a combination or little green men, it%26#039;s here and it has to be dealt with. Even Mother Teresa had to travel to take her message and to talk to people to affect change.

Just because the guy has a message on how fossil fuel consumption is responsible for global warming doesn%26#039;t mean that he can change things from a cave while he eats weeds, no one would listen to him if he did.

Sure the rich get richer, that%26#039;s always been the case, but how about worrying about those that %26quot;have to%26quot; cut 2,000, 5,000 or even 10,000 jobs in order to %26quot;cut costs%26quot; so that they can send the jobs to slave labor in China, so that their stock can go up and they in turn can make more money and then point the finger in the direction of illegal immigrants and blame them for the job loses?

How about worrying about giant corporations making huge bucks from predatory lending with less than scrupulous methods, %26quot;contracts%26quot; which are pages long on print that is hardly legible with language that takes the team of several legal firms to decipher who would rather take your house and put you on the street rather than to make less money that they SPECULATED they were going to make?

Because many of these companies when they say that they %26quot;lost%26quot; money, they didn%26#039;t actually lose any, they will just not make as much as they %26quot;projected%26quot; they would.

He used it to build a secret hideaway in the Arctic, where he laughs and sips iced drinks while watching baby polar bears and penguins struggle to swim in a gigantic hot tub.

MC D%26#039;s Chesseburgers

Probably used it to buy gasoline for his gas-guzzling SUVs, pay for jet fuel for his private jet, and pay the electric bill at his mansion.

He%26#039;s sequestering carbon in his paints.

Has anyone seen how fat this man has gotten in the last few years?

-- He expects us to be driving a Toyota Prius (which, BTW, looks like a gerbil effed a dust buster --

JustAChick -- LOL -- that%26#039;s the funniest line
