Question

How much $ does Al Gore stand to gain from his global warming fraud?

Answer 1

global warming is happening it is no fraud, and he is loosig money!  where do u get ur facts?

Answer 2

Hate to break it to you but "Global Warming" doesn't mean that you'll bake to death, in fact Global Warming can trigger an ice age before that happens.  One of the tell tale signs are more frequent occurrences of extreme weather, as well as strange swings from the expected weather patterns. This is interspersed with "normal" years, so don't diss Gore just yet.  If you still have your head up your ****, take a look a pictures of Greenland and the Arctic passage from the 70's', 80's, and 90's. Its actually a problem for Canada, since we suddenly have to worry about traffic in those waters and have to defend them...

Answer 3

Fraud? I think not! Dude, you need to wake up and see what's going on. Global warming is occurring. There's already a hole in our ozone layer right above Australia, how can you not be freaked! Global warming is happening, do something about it.

Answer 4

Millions, he needs it to light and heat his mansion.

Answer 5

He probably makes a good amount of money.  We won't know if it is true or not until time passes.

Answer 6

Millions from forcing all the schools to show his fake movie.

Half a mill from the bogus Nobel Peace Prize.

Millions more buying "carbon credits" from his own company.

He's committed fraud.  Whether he'll pay for his crimes is debatable, but it's obvious to all that he's conned a bunch of people and made a small fortune doing it.

Only the deniers will keep saying he didn't commit fraud, because they're invested in this too.  Note that the ones who still believe humans are causing climate change are "environmental scientists" who depend on crisis to keep their jobs.  Pathetic.

Answer 7

Probably more than he's made from his holdings on Occidental Petroleum, (notice how high oil is these days?) and from his tobacco farms.

Answer 8

Regarding the first replier's comment:

"Are these guys fraudulent? They all say global warming is real, and mostly caused by us.

The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association,"

The problem here is...where do all these "groups" get their fundings from??? Hmmm, now if you want true unbiased info that proves them wrong, check into the "non-profit" groups as they are not "paid off" by anyone.  They do the actual true research and present all the facts without twisting them around to "please" the "shareholders" or "governmental agencies".

Answer 9

Lots. Al Gore has been lining his pockets peddling this garbage. In addition to the IPO listed, he has made money off the Inconvenient Truth, and also speaking engagements. Let's face it, between Al Gore and the IPCC, there is no one who will profit more than them.

Answer 10

Did all  of the profits from the movie get recycled into fighting global warming?

Answer 11

Alternative energy probably will be the biggest economic oppurtunity of this century.  People, who are forward thinking, are investing in the future.

There is nothing dishonest about this.  Walmart is investing in solar panels for their stores, Google is spending 1 billion$ to develop alternative energy.   I own stock in a few solar companies.  I've been an environmentalist for over 30 years and bought a small stake in the last year in these companies.  That doesn't make me a hypocrite anymore than it does for Al Gore or anyone else with foresight.

  And it is obvious that there is no fraud.

jk's answer is totally false.  Most scientists do work for non profits.   As far as manipulating the scientific facts:  They have actually tweaked the IPCC reports to be less alarmist than the scientific facts actually indicate.

Answer 12

Not only that, how much of our tax money is wasted following this stupid c**p?

Answer 13

I'm Gonna Die, You're gonna die...

...Let's grab a beer and relax!

Answer 14

he's a crook and he should be sued for promoting it as a hazard.  LILY K is so stupid if she actually believes its real. she obiously lets the media tell her what to believe in. she need to learn how to do her own research

p.s. LILY K is one of the people who answered this question

Answer 15

hes g*y, global warming is g*y

Answer 16

He makes no money on global warming.  He's losing money.

He could make way more sitting on corporate boards and giving speeches on anything else.

Are these guys fraudulent?  They all say global warming is real, and mostly caused by us.

The National Academy of Sciences, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Institute of Physics, the American Chemical Society, the American Geophysical Union, the American Meteorological Association, etc.

Answer 17

Not a fraud.  We are doomed.

Answer 18

he loses money trying to help

Answer 19

I'm sorry to say that even the skeptical republicans cannot deny the fact of global warming... no fraud involved. Is there a market in it? perhaps, but getting the word out is important as we are quite possibly the last generation to fight this scary natural holocaust.

Answer 20

Al Gore is making huge amounts of money from his Nobel Prize Winning movie.

It just shows how fraudulant the Nobel Prize community is becoming.

It is all based on politics.  And, THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Global warming in itself is true.  It has been true, and it has been happening for THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

However, MAN MADE global warming is NOT true.

In fact, most scientists have began to seak out AGAINST global warming.

The people promoting global warming are liberal politicians (who ALWAYS tell the truth) who with to spread terror in the United States over an untrue THEORY.  They do this to distract from the true terror going on in other places.  

Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth as SEVERAL key scientific mistakes.  This is why it cannot be seen in several schools across the world.  I believe it shouldn't be seen in any school because it is NOT TRUE.  This is why I call it "A Convenient Lie" to illustrate the fact that liberals in America are using the man-made global warming lie in order to distract from true problems that are hurting th world.  Such as suicide bombers and terrorism.

I think these people should be put on trial for spreading fear propaganda.  

TWO RANDOM FACTS:

1. More chemicals are put into the atmosphere from ONE volcano eruption than the entire United States in one year.

Do you realize how many volcanoes have gone off since the beginning of time? This would have much more of an affect than industry ever could.  MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE!

2.  More damages to the Ozone layer are caused by WATER VAPOR put into the atmoshere by the RAINFOREST! Once again, MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING IS A LIE!

Believing that ONE ORGANISM, that has only been on the planet for a fraction of the earth's existence, can affect the earth to this degree proves how self-centered humanity has become.

Answer 21

First, you give Al Gore too much credits. It's not HIS "global warming fraud" - and it's not a fraud at all.

Second, Bob said something interesting that he's loosing money on it and could make more on other things. The truth is that skilled people can make money on any situation. Most good people though probably love it if they can talk for a good cause AND make money at the same time. Personally I would love to make money on trying to solve the global warming problem at the same time - but I don't.

Answer 22

Before I can answer your question, you need to answer one of mine:

Have you stopped beating your wife yet?

Global warming theory isn't a fraud. And it certainly doesn't belong to Al Gore.

Does Al Gore make much money from giving his Inconvenient Truth Presentation? Probably. Most big-name speakers make quite a bit of money giving speeches and lectures. Do you understand why this is completely irrelevant to anything ever, though? Al Gore could be making billions and billions of dollars from speaking about GW and it wouldn't affect the validity of the theory one bit.

Answer 23

Sax appeal has some of his scheme to make money right. Remember that Al Gore is a known LIAR, that's why he lost the election according to the DNC head at the time- McCaulif. Gore was caught lying on NBC Today show, FOX told the truth and Gore implicitly admitted his lie the next week -again on Today show NBC.  The carbon credit proposals talked about have a legal mandate for industry required to purchase carbon offsets from a private trading company- last check had Al Gore as a 20% owner of company so if Gore gets law passed he makes 20% of each trade profit. Man Made global warming is the big talk- a bunch of scientist in the weather business are saying now the Norwegian study looks accurate- solar activity is the cause of the warming, not human activity. The warming is a cyclic, natural event that has happened before just like the cooling cycles that have happened. Some people are going to have a extra weeks gardening time, others may get some high water while others get a longer summer dry spell- the cause cannot be stopped by some laws. People can adjust to the slight temperature change by recognizing that weather happens and lieing politicians cause more grief when uninformed political brainwashed people follow the lieing politician. A sensible person listons to Gore's speech, remembers Gore  is a loser, and checks out his snowboots for future use.

Answer 24

Well, when the planet becomes irreversibly like Mars, no one is going to benefit...

Answer 25

his carbon offset trading scheme has to be the sweetest scam ever devised.

Answer 26

The term in Tennessee, where Al Gore's mansion resides, is "beaucoup".  He stands to make beaucoup money.

Answer 27

Al Gore was not the first or last person to bring up the issue of global warming. It is generally agreed upon in the scientific community that global warming is REAL. So, you are claiming that all of the scientists along with Al Gore are making this whole thing up? They have been studying climate change for over two decades!  Look at the statistics, the records, and study this subject before you make assumptions. I wonder, if this is such a "fraud", how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (i.e. scientists) and Al Gore were awarded a Nobel Peace prize in 2007? Hmmm....
