Should Al Gore be held accountable?
Well, he has profited from frightening people about global warming. When he realized the globe was not warming, he changed the scary theme to that of “climate change.” Some claim he may have made over $100 million from the scare he promoted. Some call him the world’s first “carbon billionaire.”
He did use appearances before Congress to promote his theories. Which of course helped his movie and his book and his paid appearances.
He did lobby for policies that would further his profitable causes. Such as his various companies and climate change investments.
He did use his name and fame to push scare theories that are now riddled with fraud. Theories now peppered with sloppy pseudo-science.
Al Gore did promote his film and books worldwide. He still rakes in huge fees for evangelizing, using the same material. Nearly all the frightening predictions he made in the film have proven to be rot. Senator James Inhofe calls the theories that human activities have induced climate change “a hoax.” He says scientists, motivated by ideology, “cooked the books.”
Al Gore did accept the Nobel Prize and the money that comes with it. He shared it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Much of its work has been exposed as a sham.
