There's good money speechifying global warming

[Conspiracy Theory]

AL Gore made 100,000 pounds for giving a lame speech.

What's the problem? Does his getting paid somehow negate the science of GW? If he never got paid again would climate change stop?

Are you a climate change sinner?

Meh, same price as Guliani charges. It's not really that unusual.

No. This is more than twice as much as Guliani charges.

Why is it there are more ad hominesque threads against human GW versus science based? If humans are not contributing to GW this probably the fastest way to make sure the pro side doesnt listen to the opposition.

There is such a great amount of irony in all of this -- the jet set crowd of environmentalists lining their pockets from their efforts (no doubt to buy their indulgences, I mean, off sets).



Embarrassing for the left wing -- just as bad as thrice married Rush Limbaugh or adulterous Rudy Giuliani speaking of family values.

It's worse. The extremely wealthy (what liberals used to call the "idle rich") are trying to enact laws which stick it to the working guy--the very person liberals claim to care about--while their great wealth exempts Gore and Company from all the effects of their proposals.

No. This is more than twice as much as Guliani charges.

Gore still charges twice as much.

That's $100,000

Gore charged £100,000

There's a big difference.

 

[FatBurger]

Oh, you're right

Still, there are lots of people who charge $200,000 or more - Dr Phil, Billy Crystal, Jerry Seinfeld, Lance Armstrong, Larry the Cable Guy...
Even Alan Alda charges over $100,000.

$200,000 is quite simply not that uncommon.

It's not about the dollar amount because gore could be getting less than Carrot Top and some would still complain. Personally, i cant stand gore, but the health of the earth should not take a back seat to politics. I frankly cant understand how something as fundamental and monumentally important issue like this needs to be a partisan victim. I hate researching the issue cause politics has obfuscated good chunks of the science.
