He's a right dodgy cunt. We didn't even elect the corrupt fuck. Actually fuming. He's completely in the pockets of oil companies. His wife's company made a $1.5bn deal with BP six weeks prior to confirming the new oil and gas licenses.
I can’t find anything corroborating what you said. Do you have a source?
He made one of the biggest early documentaries about global warming soon after losing the election, An Inconvenient Truth, and has devoted his life to climate change activism. All I’m seeing are reports that he spent a lot of effort making sure his investments are green.
edit: Got it, it's about Rishi Sunak! That makes a lot more sense.
I'm talking about Rishi Sunak.

itt: you've misidentified "he"
The person you're replying to is talking about Rishi Sunak, not Al Gore.
Was that user talking about fmr. US VP Gore or UK PM Sunak?
