Al Gore got rich by being born into a family of wealthy tobacco farmers. His father was also a Representative and Senator from Tennessee before Al, Jr followed in his footsteps.
It was mentioned earlier about the decline of aquifers in the Middle East. The aquifers in the western United States are also severely depleted and being over pumped. In addition snow and rainfall levels are declining. I saw a shocking article about the Alps. xyzde69 wasn't kidding about the glaciers disappearing. Here are some pictures from Alaska, the Alps, Glacier National Park in Montana, and Greenland.
The glaciers in Montana are 85% gone and don't figure to last too much longer. The "snow" you see in these pictures of the Alps is all artificial. Y'all know that Western Europe gets most of its water from the Alps, don't you? You better enjoy those French wines and German beers while you can.
