Al Gore The Green Voice Of America

Al Gore has become a major figure in the political world in the recent years due to his endorsement of the environmental angel. He did won a Nobel Price over it and continues to promote the green agenda. The Understory brought abstract from his recent speech

This week, speaking to financial leaders controlling $20 trillion in assets, Gore said “You need to really scrub your investment portfolios, because I guarantee you — as my longtime good redneck friends in Tennessee say, I guarandamntee you — that if you really take a fine-tooth comb and go through your portfolios, many of you are going to find them chock-full of subprime carbon assets.” “Subprime carbon assets”, according to Gore, are the financial risks that investors in carbon intensive industry face when throwing billions into the fossil fuel infrastructure (ex:Citi and Bank of America). Gore compared carbon investments to the recent subprime mortgage crisis that has led to a meltdown in financial markets.

He seems to be the most popular figure in the party so much so that according to the press it is possible that he would be called to help in the attempt to return the White House to the Democrats. Much can be said Pro and Cons this option but as for now the party needs every assistance before the elections.
