Holy crap, you just compared Al Gore to BP.

Take a moment and think this the hell through, dude.

You seriously think that Al Gore, incredibly wealthy dude, is attempting to get people to realize the dangers of climate change so that he can profit off of it? That’s his grand fucking scheme for making more money— convincing everyone of a very, very important scientific truth and making money off of it?

That is really, really fucking close to saying that we can’t trust scientists because they make money off of grants, or saying that we can’t trust anyone promoting cleaner energy because they stand to profit.

God, I’m so sick of that position. It just drives me up the fucking wall. Suddenly if someone is making money off of something they’re bad, bad, bad, even if they’re absolutely right.

Can you explain why?
