From the PFP. You would think a guy profiting from screaming the sky is falling wouldn't have any credibility. Well actually he doesn't except with other drinkers of the kool aid like you Kenneth. Oh by the way, going to get below freezing here tonight, well below normal for this time of year. A balmy 43 out right now.

So what has Al Gore gained from his Big Green escapades?
ACLU BLOG
According to public disclosure information, Gore was worth somewhere between $1 million and $2 million in 2000. Not quite eight years later, Gore is estimated to be worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million. While I ordinarily would applaud such financial gains from such a short period of time, I can't help but to question just how it happened. When you look out at what Al Gore has done, it's evident that he figured out on a way to capitalize on the creation of Big Green while becoming the official doomsday prophet that has helped to build Big Green into the monetary powerhouse that it has become.

Consider that Gore said all his profits went to non-profits. I guess Gore considers himself a non-profit.
