Al Gore help setup Cap and trade exchange company
09/03/10 16:04 Filed in: Personal
A lot has been in the news regarding the “Cap and Trade” system being proposed in the US. The scheme allows companies to trade the taxation of pollution with other companies (that are greener) in a global “exchange”. This whole mechanism being pushed forward by proponents of man made global warming, such as Al Gore.
Now there is considerable opposition to “Cap and Trade” as an environmental mechanism as it removes limits of big business to pollute allowing them to simply buy themselves out of tax, passing higher costs onto the consumer. While this might sound great for a car company that would price itself out of the market, the worlds greatest polluters are in fact power companies. Electricity generation produces a third of CO2 emissions in the UK alone (look it up). So when they increase costs and consumers have no alternative supplier... where does that lead?
So the only people Cap and Trade will benefit will be those who run the operation, which takes a cut of all transactions. This company would stand to make billions of dollars.
The company that will run the exchange is called “Climate Exchange Plc” - who will operate the European and US climate exchanges.
So... take a wild guess who owns them?

Right now, nobody annoys me more than Al Gore.
Why? Surely this bastion of an eco-warrior should be above insults. Acquiring as he has a kind of saint like divinity, not to mention a Nobel prize. You know Nobel, invented Dynamite, Gelignite and more seriously Balistite; a mixture of soluble nitrocellulose and nitroglycerin specifically designed so that snipers could shoot people and their rifles wouldn't give them away with the telltale smoke of gunpowder. What a nice chap.
Back to Gore. Gore... I mean even his name has a nasty edge to it.
But get this, recently he's been telling the people of the US to use less gas (petrol) and so on and so forth. In the same way that Gordon Brown told us all to stop wasting food a matter of hours before tucking into a eight course meal during the G8 summit. I digress.
No, Al Gore's greatest crime in my mind is hypocrisy.
Here's a picture of Al Gore's house, or rather the front of it. Because it's far more extensive at the back than you might imagine. 
So I've included an image taken from satellite so you can see the true extent.
But that's not the story. No, the real story is that despite Al Gore bragging he'd made extensive changes to his own home to become more eco-friendly; it still manages to burn through 191,000kWh or electricity versus a average of 15,500kWh. Keith Olbermann, who's show Countdown I like (if not always agree with) points out that the majority of the electricity comes from renewably sources.
SO WHAT!!?! That's like saying it's OK to run a 3mpg car because it runs on Vegetable Oil. Are they seriously telling us that it's impossible to get the house more efficient that TWENTY TIMES THE LOCAL AVERAGE!!?!
My other question would have to be; What the hell is he running in their?! James Bond style laser beams?!
Wait... what if Al Gore is creating Global Warming by some kind of electrically powered 'death ray'!!!

I see Al Gore has been caught red handed taking a private jet. Fox news, always the bastion of truth and justice in America (sarcasm) are going to release the damning video this coming Sunday (9th September).
What will there headline be? Politician found lying?
Which then leads to to ponder if this is actually 'news' or not. Either way, it's another example of 'do as I say, not as I do'. With John Prescott telling the UK public that they are killing the planet with their cars and then has a 5.3 litre V12 Jaguar drive him 100 yards to a conference so, and I quote, his wife's hair didn't get blown about too much. Well, as I said at the time, I find my hair gets blown about a lot on public transport also... hence the car.
