For all those of us who think Al Gore leads the church of global warming hysteria, here's one that bought into the religion.
The Church of England’s Church Commissioners have gone green, investing £150 million with former US Vice-President Al Gore’s environmentally minded investment firm, Generation Investment Management.
On Nov 18 the First Church Estates Commissioner, Andreas Whittam Smith reported that in late September the Commissioners had placed the funds with Gore’s boutique management firm which follows an “environmentally sustainable global equities mandate.” Funding for the investment came from “cash and Treasury bills”, he said, and not from the sale of UK equities as initially planned.
You never know. Al Gore may continue where Bernie Madoff left off.
Madoff’s investors were in it to make money for themselves. Gore’s “investors” are in it to feel good about themselves. Either way they get taken, but Algore’s followers get to assuage some liberal guilt about it.
