That is a whole lotta funding for a public advocacy campaign, and tops annual spending for anti-smoking and anti-drug campaigns. Gore himself is donating his salary from his Kleiner Perkins VC gig (but not his stock options, noted the AP), as well as his prize winnings and the proceeds from both his book and his documentary; the WaPo estimates Gore’s donation at around $2.5 million, and the rest will come from private contributors.

Well Gore has made 100 Million on global warming alone so it’s nice he’s giving 2.5% back he must care about the earth.  A lot,  I mean the cutbacks he must be making to live on 97.5 million course that doesn’t count his mining operations or his carbon credits companies.

Maybe he will one day cares enough to sell 1 or 2 of his 3 houses or cut his electrical use at his prime residence to 20k per year.

Do as I say not as I do eh Al,

Meanwhile back in reality there’s still snow on my front yard.
