The former vice president used his speech at Cannes to call on the ad and creative world to help him in his fight against climate change, while promoting his new London company Generation Investment Management. When asked about climate deniers, Gore said it was a campaign run by polluters and compared their actions to the tobacco industry, which employed actors posing as doctors to reassure consumers that smoking was safe: “It was deeply unethical, immoral, destructive, really evil, and that is exactly what the climate denial industry is doing.”

Gore believes global warming would be a big issue at the next election: “The age of fossil fuels is beginning to end … years ago a Saudi minister once said, ‘The stone age didn’t end because of a shortage of stones.’”he blasted lobbyists and special interests for blocking reform: “American democracy has been hacked … the US became the world’s leader by making better decisions than any other nation … the role of money really degraded the decision-making quality in the US.

“Big sources of special interest money are able to prevent the passage of almost any meaningful reform in the public interest, it really pains me to say … That has had a cascading impact on the ability of the US to continue providing the thought leadership to the world as a whole.

“It is urgent not only for the interests of the US but for the future of humankind … that the US find ways to quickly restore its ability to make decisions based on its best values and to limit the corrupting impact and degrading impact of lobbying and campaign contributions. It has to stop being about money, after all how much money does one person need?”

There were also laughs when Gore talked about his $14 billion venture capital firm Generation Investment Management, founded in London with David Blood, and Sorrell asked, “You weren’t going to call it Blood and Gore, were you?”
What a do do head! :shock:

Hilarious considering daddy Gore invested the family boodle in Occidental Petroleum. That stock has allowed Gore the younger to enjoy his current jet setting lifestyle, energy hog mansion and massive lake yacht.

Gore's initial money came from Occidental’s coal division where his father an executive. So, it would seem, the cleanest money in Al Gore’s family tree came from tobacco they grew. It's really odd that Gore talks of tobacco and coal as "bad" and chastises business people who have anything to do with them. To top it off he calls Wall Street investors devils while starting up his own 18 Billion Dollar investment company. 100 years ago Gore would have been tarred and feathered and chased out of town for being the slimy con artist he is. Did you guys know the center of the earth is millions of degree?

If you don't like Gore, don't invest with him.

You guys really need to stop taking Al Gore and Donald Trump so seriously. :lol:

Dearly beloved, we gather together to join together this boy Clownlicker and this boy Elkindope in unholy matrimony.

By the power vested in me by the bulletin board, and by the Supreme Court which is just making up things off the cuff and with no connection to anything in the Constitution, I now pronounce them leftist married.

Amen.
