At the recent environmental conference in Bali, accredited scientists who do not believe global warming is caused by human activity were banned from attending or expressing their views.
I think that says a lot.
I don't believe Gore's primary objective is related to taxes. It's related to his wallet.

Gore is a Demo. It's in his blood to want higher taxes.
More taxes and look at the companies who will gain, look who is backing them

No, it's obviously not.
For starters global warming is a scientific issue. There are many basic scientific facts which can only be explained if the current global warming is being caused by an increased greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere from humans burning fossil fuels.

On top of that, nobody is even proposing a carbon tax. In the US the discussion is about a carbon cap and trade system.

In the late sixties the big issues were war and the environment. Today, 40 years later it is still war and the environment. Real progress? I dont think so.

Quite possibly yes. Higher taxes are part of the philosophical foundation of American liberalism. While I don't doubt that he believes what he says (yes, getting fantastically richer while doing it, all while having a Yeti-sized "carbon footprint" of his own!), neither do I doubt that new taxes will be part of the proposed solutions.

What authority does Al Gore have to tax anyone? He doesn't hold political office and is not running for political office.
