Whoops! Did Martin O'Malley admit 'climate change' fear-mongering is about money?

Former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley made his entry into the race for the Democrat presidential nomination official today with an announcement in Baltimore.

Among the topics O’Malley talked about was, of course, “climate change,” which he views it as a money-making opportunity (for some people). Check out this fit of honesty:

O’Malley calls climate change “the greatest business opportunity to come to our country in 100 years.” Line wasn’t in prepared remarks

Was that a private message intended for Al Gore that O’Malley accidentally said out loud?

Al Gore certainly thinks so. https://t.co/aqUOeR8aEt

Undoubtedly.

@samsteinhp Some of us knew all along #ActOnClimate was just a business slogan.

@samsteinhp @Fairfax51 Climate change a great biz opportunity? Doesn't the name Solyndra ring a bell with him?

— Bucky Barfbag ? (@BuckyMaxwell) May 30, 2015

@BuckyMaxwell @samsteinhp Solyndra & about 20 other bankrupt solar/wind projects. Most ridiculous….we can't make panels here…regulations

— Dianne (@Fairfax51) May 30, 2015

@Fairfax51 @samsteinhp The Fed just keep dumping $$$ into these boondoggles to benefit their cronies and we're stuck w/ the bill.

— Bucky Barfbag ? (@BuckyMaxwell) May 30, 2015

@samsteinhp That's odd, turning a major national security threat into a biz oppo…?

Isn’t it though? It’s almost like they don’t believe their own alarmist warnings.
