Al Gore maintains a he lives a “carbon neutral” lifestyle by buying “carbon offsets,” but the company that receives Gore’s payments for carbon offsets is partly owned and chaired by the former vice president himself.
His extra-large carbon offsets are paid through Generation Investment Management, a London-based company with offices in Washington, D.C., for which he serves as chairman. Make no mistake, this is NOT a non-profit. Generation Investment Management is set up to become a multi-billion dollar investment firm and is also set up to exclude the lower class.
Generation Investment Management’s U.S. branch is headed by a former Gore staffer and fund-raiser, Peter S. Knight, Knight was the subject of several probes by the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice.
When Gore is buying carbon offsets through Generation Investment, he is in all actuality buying stock.

With proposed legislation for “Global Warming”, it is related. It is still a conflict of interest yet many don’t question it. I’m asking why nobody is questioning his motives for suggesting poor people use clothes lines instead of dryers while he uses and over abundance of energy and justifies it by paying himself.
Geez, only ONE answer from the left on why nobody questions Gore, just more rhetoric about Cheney! I thought the left likes to question things.
Al Gore stands to gain by forcing Global Warming down our throats and yet nobody questions. Hmmm….
