You mean he makes money by helping clean up the planet? Hm. Good for him. I hope he makes a lot of money; maybe he will use it to start up other initiatives.
Carbon credits first became widely established with the Kyoto Protocol. Al Gore didn't invent them. So he wants to help run a business that creates carbon sinks? Good for him. It's better than mowing down rain forests or drilling for oil in the arctic. Making money isn't bad in and of itself, nor is promoting ideas that might make you money. It's the kind of work you do and its impact on the world.
And if one feels bad after listening to Gore's message, it isn't Gore's fault.
