Schweizer thinks that shooting the messenger makes the message invalid. It seems that you buy into that false logic, too. Since they cannot attack the science any more -- they got a few years out of that, though, so it wasn't a total loss for them -- now they attack the man whose voice is the most prominent these days about global warming.

What are they after? Improving the public image of Al Gore by pointing out his family investment history?

No, they are after discrediting global warming altogether, because it gets in the way of their money making. And it seems that they -- and you -- are offended that poor old Al hasn't spoken out in his best financial interest.

Some people believe that when someone speaks up about something where they have a financial interest, then it's just bullshit. Funny how that bullshit is what these oiligarchs love and respect.

And anyone who isn't getting paid to say something is somehow suspect.

I think you're the one missing the point, Drew.
