Since many of Gore's claims about global warming have been proven to be nothing more than absurd hype, and in some cases, outright scientifically wrong, it's extremely troubling that venerable investment firms would be gathering monies from individuals and institutions based on Gore's global warming misrepresentations. These investment firms have the fiduciary responsibility to invest in opportunities of prudent nature, certainly not those based on celebrity hucksterism, climate science fiction and scaremongering. Is it investment fraud if one is attracting investor monies by hyping worst case scenarios that appear to create a future investment opportunity?
When these investment monies are lost for their clients, it will be an ugly day in court if the investment firms' defense is..."well, Al Gore said it would happen." That defense ain't going to work when a UK High Court judge has already found that Gore's claims are "politically partisan and thus not an impartial scientific analysis of climate change."
For potential investors, beware! Do you really want your money in the hands of a Bernie Madoff-type of money manager? Before investing in one of these global warming, Gore influenced money-making "opportunities," you might want to ask these questions.
