Climate change - the money machine ...

With Al Gore due in Australia this week to discuss climate change, it's worth taking a look at his latest corporate venture:

Generation Investment Management LLP

Generation is an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 and with offices in London and Washington, D.C.

We invest in long-only, global, public equities with a concentrated portfolio of 30-50 companies. We aim to buy high quality companies at attractive prices that will deliver superior long-term investment returns.

Sustainability research plays an important role in forming our views on the quality of the business, the quality of management and valuation.

"Integrating issues such as climate change into investment analysis is simply common sense" - Al Gore, Chairman.

You can invest with Al Gore via the Colonial First State Generation Global Sustainability Fund:

Colonial First State recently formed an alliance with Generation Investment Management LLP - a London and Washington based global equities investment company, co-founded by Al Gore, former US Vice President, and David Blood, former global CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management.

This alliance brings Generation Investment Management’s unique sustainable investment approach to Australian investors with the new Generation Global Sustainability Fund.

This new fund will be available exclusively in Australia through Colonial First State’s FirstChoice platform from 3 September 2007.

See - CFS - invest with Al.

What use is climate change if you can't make some money from it ...

The same gullible people fund the Nigerian Web Scammers. Climate change, carbon credits, perpetual drought are probably like the Y2K bug. There is always somebody to make a quick buck before the bubble bursts. This is happening in the recycled sewage water situation.

Now we hear that the children in State Schools in NSW have been asked to bring bottled water to school as they have found high lead in the water they drink.

Bottled water is a liecence to print money and our Deputy Mayor of Toowoomba knows that only to well.

Let men and women of good will rally around parenthood, property and moral and legitimate exercise of government authority.
Do not be fooled: It is liberty that we must preserve for future generations if we are to have a healthy planet, rising prosperity, genuine peace and a life of one's own.
