Ka Ching drives the bus for Al Gore

Ok. So there is this new buzzword “Ka-Ching” - and is meant to depict the sound of a 'cash register'.

I found that in a cheeky aside [“Al Gore and Climate Ka-Ching”] on why Al Gore is so consumed on greening the earth. Sounds like a logical observation if it is not from the anti Global Warming theorist. Some excerpts –

“So why the hype? Well, global warming is a growth industry designed to keep Earth and some bank accounts green.

Gore himself joined the venture capital group, KPCB just last September. On May 1, the firm announced a $500 million investment in maturing green technology firms called the Green Growth Fund. The group announced another $700 million to be invested over the next three years in green-tech startup firms. But if the green technology business cools down, there will be no return on that investment. There would be no need for such investments if global warming wasn't a threat. So Gore just launched, among other things, a $300 million on an ad campaign to convince us it is so.

Speaking at a conference in Monterey, Calif., on March 1, the former vice president admitted to having "a stake" in a number of green investments into which he recommended attendees put money rather than "subprime carbon assets" such as tar sands and shale oil. He also is co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management, which sells carbon offsets that allow rich polluters to continue polluting with a clear conscience.

We have a prediction all our own — that disastrous global warming will not occur. Then the greenies will take credit for preventing it and ask us if we're glad we spent trillions in fighting it. Al Gore will be laughing all the way to the bank.”

"Ka-Ching!" It has a nice ring to it, yeah! Go, catch it.
