Al Gore Bashes Idea Climate Change is All About the Money

Al Gore is vehemently denying climate scientists manipulate data to keep the money flowing.

The Hill reported:

Al Gore on Friday bashed the notion that climate scientists are manipulating data for financial gain, a charge levied by global warming skeptics, including GOP White House hopeful Rick Perry.

“This is an organized effort to attack the reputation of the scientific community as a whole, to attack their integrity, and to slander them with the lie that they are making up the science in order to make money,” Gore said in an online interview.

“These scientists don’t make a lot of money. They are comfortable, as they should be, but they don’t make a lot of money. That is not their motivation for doing what they do,” Gore added.

Al Gore forgets to mention the fortune he has made peddling the anthropogenic global warming scam. Penn State Professor Michael Mann, author of the infamous 'hockey stick' graph and implicated in 'Climategate' for 'hiding the decline' got a half a million in Stimulus dollars while he was under investigation by his own university. Of course, they exonerated him. To have done otherwise would have cut off the money.

The National Center for Public Research reported:

In the face of rising unemployment and record-breaking deficits, policy experts at the National Center for Public Policy Research are criticizing the Obama Administration for awarding a half million dollar grant from the economic stimulus package to Penn State Professor Michael Mann, a key figure in the Climategate controversy.

“It’s outrageous that economic stimulus money is being used to support research conducted by Michael Mann at the very time he’s under investigation by Penn State and is one of the key figures in the international Climategate scandal. Penn State should immediately return these funds to the U.S. Treasury,” said Tom Borelli, Ph.D., director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project.
