yeah.... science, LOL. Clowns like Al Gore can make quarter billion with just the trappings of science, I'm thinking real science is a little hard to find...
Sigh. How many times do I have to tell you nitwits. Gore is not in it for the money. All the money he makes in the area he reinvests in the Alliance for Climate Protection. He rightfully believes in transitioning the economy into a more green one and has invested in these areas. It's called socially conscious investing. You may have heard of it.
He has tons of money from other sources.
"Since then (leaving office), his net worth has skyrocketed, helped by timely investments in Apple and Google, profits from books and his movie, and scores of speeches for which he can be paid more than $100,000, although he often speaks at no charge.
He is a founder of Generation Investment Management, based in London and run by David Blood, a former head of Goldman Sachs Asset Management (the firm was quickly dubbed Blood and Gore). Mr. Gore earns a partnerâs salary at Kleiner Perkins. He has substantial personal finances invested at both firms, officials of the companies said.
He also serves as an adviser to high-profile technology companies including Apple and Google, relationships that have paid him handsome dividends over the last eight years.
Mr. Goreâs spokeswoman would not give a figure for his current net worth, but the scale of his wealth is evident in a single investment of $35 million in Capricorn Investment Group, a private equity fund started by his friend Jeffrey Skoll, the first president of eBay.
Ion Yadigaroglu, a co-founder of Capricorn, said that Mr. Gore does not sit on the fundâs investment committee, but obviously agrees with the partnersâ strategy of putting long-term money into promising ventures in energy, technology and health care around the globe."
At any rate, nothing, NOTHING, Gore does or will do changes anything about the reality of man-made global warming. The science is in no way dependent on what he does.
