How Al Gore Amassed a $330 Million Climate Fortune by Terrifying Everyone

2023-01-23

[Red State] Former Vice President and 2000 presidential election loser Al Gore has spent his post-political career warning anyone who will listen that the earth is in its death throes due to global warming (now called climate change because somehow that’s better).

His 2006 documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" amassed $49 million at the world box office and catapulted Al into the top ranks of climate hysterics, and he’s never looked back, constantly jetting to meetings around the world to preach his truth.

This week he’s at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, because of course he is.

Is he doing this because he truly believes what he’s saying, or because he cares so very much about you? While we can’t read his mind, one thing we do know for sure: climate change has been very, very good to Al Gore. Though he was worth approximately $1.7 million at the end of his vice presidency, he has now amassed an estimated $330 million fortune, owns houses in Virginia, California, and Tennessee, and receives a cool $2 million a month for a figurehead position at the Generation Investment Management green energy fund he founded with former Goldman Sachs Managing Director David W. Blood.

There are only two conclusions I can come to upon learning this news—1) I should have been a climate activist. 2) Hunter Biden has nothing on this guy.

If he’s so concerned about rising seas, why would Gore buy a huge oceanview mansion in flood-prone Montecito? One might ask the same question of former president Barack Obama, who dropped $12 million for a waterfront view on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.

#7 Al will experience real climate change the moment he dies.

#6 Al has a bunch of money that he obtained through corruption. It is more than he can use. Like the rest of us he is one day closer to the final audit. Zachaeus turned it around. Maybe Gore will change as well. Grace can overcome probability.

#5 Snake oil salesman Al Gore makes a fortune selling bupkis. Why doesn't he help pay off the national debt which he helped create.

But? How can a person beproven so wrong, so many times, and still make $$$ Millions?

Or is it the mentality level of the group whom he is preaching to that makes it possible?

#2 Hollyweird has made a bundle on selling horror movies. It appeals to certain audiences.
