Letter: The Green gospel according to Gore

AL GORE is to be a speaker at the Scottish Low-Carbon Investment event to be held in Edinburgh on 27-28 September (News, 10 July).

This is the same Al Gore whose scaremongering film An Inconvenient Truth contained nine inaccuracies or exaggerations.

Sea levels are not rising and polar bears are not in danger.

I do not suppose his lecture will disclose that scientists in the US have reported that the Earth's temperature has declined over the past decade although concentration of carbon dioxide increased steadily.

His mansions in Tennessee and southern California must consume the output of a small power station.

Al Gore warned that sea levels would rise by 20 feet but then used some of his vast profits from carbon trading to buy a condo costing $4 million.

It is only feet from the ocean in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco, a city he warned would suffer devastating floods.

Hypocritical or foolish?

Mr Gore continues to make travel, lifestyle and investment choices that show his belief that making green sacrifices are for the masses but not for him.

Perhaps his lecture, supported by Alex Salmond, will be about making money out of the Great Global Warming Scam.
