First, Gore sets up a company that will invest in other companies that will benefit from global warming alarmismSecond, Gore gets some Hollywood types to fund and produce a movie designed to scare the c-c-carbon out of the populationThird, Gore travels the world promoting this movie, while pushing the view that a cataclysm is imminent if the world doesn't immediately actFourth, an adoring media falls for the con hook, line, and sinkerRather than debunking the flaws in the theories, the media promote every word of it while advancing the concept that Gore's views represent those of an overwhelming majority of scientistsFifth, scared governments and citizens across the globe invest in alternative energy programs driving up the shares of companies Gore's group has already invested inSixth, Gore and his cronies make billions as they laugh all the way to the bank at the stupidity of their fellow citizens
Roman Technological Advances
Roman's invented roads, steel swords, perfected the tortoise manoveur, invented aqueducts to bring water from the coastHan Dynasty helped invent things like gunpowder, fireworks, The Great Wall, the wheel barrow and the wheel.
The reality is that every individual can do something to improve the health of our planet, no money in anyone's pocketConservationists have been working on this issue for decadesThe only way that seems to be effective is to show how it can turn a profit-so I see a line item: I get $2 back on my $43 garbage bill because of the profit in recyclingCash cowcapitalism(I hear this echo from-building a sports stadium, building a freeway.if it doesn't turn a profit, why do it?) Profit is The American WayNot to meI see the profit of planting a treeI see the cost of convenience, tooI simply don't purchase an item that has more wrapping than product-single microwave meals, for exampleThis product is certainly a cash cow, or it wouldn't be on the marketDo a cost analysis-3x365 of those meals is one huge pile of plastic after a year Not that I even drink it, but soda manufacturers have figured out how to minimize costs of packaging, making aluminium cans 1/3 the mass today of the originals that came out 40 years agoFunny how you deride this issueLet's look at the money making scheme of pharmaceuticals-look anywhere on the internet-the US has something like 1000 x profit margin on-oh, ViagraOr allergy drugs Consider insurance companies driving up the cost of medical coverage I for one am interested in sustainable energy resourcesNot just for the US, who is farming resources on every other continent, but for the bulk of the world's population living on those other continentsHello? China and Japan have invested in US businesses-in a money making schemeOur country is owned by outside sourcesWhy aren't you concerned about that? Designing devices that kill people is a pretty crappy investment, yet I see the cash cow of Vietnam: LBJ's wife's helicopter companyI see an Enron proft in Iraq.now who has a major interest in THAT cash cow? Oink moo.
