I keep asking, to whom do I send flowers when the global warming industry trots out Al Gore to do their bidding? Today’s gem only reinforces that. This guy is the gift that keeps on giving.

Now, I must say that someone I know — a high-flying type with whom I do not see eye-to-eye at all on these things — told me of a recent meeting he had with a philanthropic organization bearing the name of a great American entrepreneur (and now tied to all sorts of moonbat causes, as so often happens by the third generation). He said they complained about how they really need to find a way to get around, or get the public to ignore, Mr. Gore: his shtick is killing them.

I volunteered that it’s hard to ignore a guy with $300 million bucks. My interlocutor shrugged and said that some group that William Reilly is working with has $1 billion — and some other group half again that amount (sorry I’m sketchy on the details, he said this to me two months ago at a reception). I’m not vouching for it. Just passing it along.

But all of this raises a question I’ve asked before: Who sees such value in pushing this agenda — global-governance or otherwise?
