Gore seeing plenty of green

Posted June 04, 2010 11:00 pm

A recent news item reported that Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added their fourth luxury home to their real estate holdings. The couple reportedly spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms.

Al's version of global warming is that you and I should reduce our carbon footprint - never mind about his. The new home is on the ocean, so guess he's not as worried about the rising tides as he says we should be. The reality is that there is a lot of money to be made from global warming, if you're Al Gore or any of the glut of researchers lining up to milk the global warming cash cow. Try getting a grant to disprove global warming!
