Al The Man, Gore

Now entering an arena near you ... Al Gore!  Remember him? Isn't he the man who thinks the earth is going to disintegrate under global warming? Now, he's entering the stem-cell arena, with an announcement of a 20 million dollar bio-tech venture. This venture in the hot area of "induced pluripotent" stem-cells. These cells are attracting interest from researchers and bio-tech firms, as an alternate to embryonic stem-cells.  The jury is out on these cells. They are induced cells and are made by inserting 4 genes into ordinary skin cells. 

"I think it's a very important breakthrough, that is filled with promise and hope," says Al Gore, a partner with the venture-capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, which is backing the research. 

Has Al Gore seen the light, or smelled the money? The jury on IPC's, both ethically and medically, at this time, is out. 
Global Warming?  Snow is predicted for Chicago again.
