It's hard to understand this NYT article. Al Gore has been as open as possible in both his warning about the dangers of global warming and his efforts to support businesses that produce green technology. The latter obviously implies the possibility that he might profit from these investments. This article seems to imply that there is something improper in this picture, but there is no accusation that Gore has used his political ties to help his investments (which would be a scandal), so where's the news in this story?
