You didn't believe me when I said that Gore has a superstar agenda with the Global Warming hype? How does $100,000 a lecture sound? Sounds lucrative to me. Plus travel, hotel, security, and per diem expenses. He doesn't come cheap.
That cost is for a 75 minute lecture. According to his "contract" his ground transportation is to be a sedan, NOT an SUV. He also asks that sponsors make every effort possible to use hybrid vehicles for his transportation. The contract also says that no press be permitted at the event and he needs to have approval over the distribution of photos.
Gore is raking in the dough through his use of junk science and fear. It seems he is more worried about his payment and appearance then a green planet.
Yes there is big money to be made on this fear campaign just like any other and $100,000 is peanuts. You see, when politicians gain from what they are rallying against, they are not to be trusted.
