"If Ronald Reagan had made the global warming claims he would be nominated for saint hood."
My problem isn't with who makes the global warming claims. I have a problem when the person making the claims is also making his living off making those claims. I wouldn't even care if the person making the claims made a documentary or did the TV show circuit. But when they start a company that profits directly off making those claims and the more astounding the claims the more the person profits.
I would love to see many real businesses profit as we work to become more efficient. Solar collectors, wind turbines, and GEO thermal all have great potential. But these companies actually create a product that can make our lives better while Gore's company is like a Wall Street bank peddling paper.
Having people out front of the G.W. movement that remind you of old time traveling salesmen that peddled snake oil has hurt the cause in my opinion and Gore has not been the only one. Trouble is this is typical as people will naturally look for ways to make money similar to our military industrial complex.
