Global Warming Hysteria Could Make Gore Richest VP in History?

Question

Since 2000, according to published reports, the former veep has transformed himself from a public servant with around $1 million in the bank to a sparkling private consultant with a net worth estimated to be north of $100 million. He's a senior adviser to Google, a board member at Apple and now a newly minted general partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the Silicon Valley venture-capital firm that made billions investing early in Netscape, Amazon and Google.

Gore has pledged to hand over his KP "salary" to Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit he chairs. But the gift is more symbolic than material. Gore's salary-his cut of the 2 percent "management fee" that KP partners get on all investments-is typically a sliver of the total compensation that VCs receive. If Gore's profit-sharing deal is anything like the firm's other 23 partners, he's also in line to collect tens of millions of dollars a year. That's because partners carve up 30 percent of the profits if and when the alternative-energy start-ups that KP supports go public or are sold. (Kleiner Perkins declined to comment on Gore's compensation, but his communications director, Kalee Kreider, confirmed that he plans to donate only his "guaranteed income" to charity.) Should Gore's prospecting unearth a clean-energy gold mine the size of Google-which earned billions for KP partners-his share of the loot could make him U.S. history's richest ex-veep.

THESE ARE REAL QUOTES.
Canada's former environmental minister, Christine Stewart. "Climate change provides the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world." Excuse me? Climate change is the greatest chance to bring justice and equality in the world? How is that, Christine Stewart? Quote, same person. This is the former environmentalist of Canada. Quote: No matter if the science is all phony, there is still collateral environmental benefits to global warming policies.

“Unless we announce disasters, no one will listen.” Sir John Houghton, first chairman of IPCC A.K.A. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Stephen Schneider “To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective and being honest”. Who is Stephen Schneider? He was the lead UN IPCC report author and climate alarmist. In 2007 he is still a major role.

Regarding Kyoto, two international leaders have said it best. Margot Wallstrom, the EU's Environment Commissioner states that Kyoto is “about leveling the playing field for big businesses worldwide.” French President Jacques Chirac said during a speech at the Hague in November 2000 that Kyoto represents “the first component of authentic global governance.”

Answer 2

I think if you check very deeply into it, you would find out Cheney is worth quite a bit of coin, and rest assured, being an ex-VP will probably be more lucrative for Cheney than it has been for Gore, look how lucrative being an ex-Sec of Def was (Hello, Haliburton!), and how much his friends have made in the last 7-8 years. Part of the whole rethug scheme is to always prop up/defend one anopther, and that includes financially, look at Scooter's defense fund, before he skated, and now Gonzo has a defense fund, too!
And, on 1-19-09, Shrub drops the "blanket pardon" bomb!!!
Then, they can all go "refill the ol' coffers" on the lecture circuit, but I think Scotty McLellan better watch his back, or shut his mouth!!
