Al Gore hired as an advisor to Tony Blair

ByRod Adams

If you are following the energy industry, you are probably already aware that the British government has released a report called the Stern Review on the economics of climate change. In close association with the announcement of that report, the British government has also made public the fact that Tony Blair, one of George Bush’s closest political friends in the world, has hired Al Gore as a consultant to advise it on policies related to climate change.

Intriguing.

I will have some additional comments once I slog through the report – it is pretty massive.
