Have an extra $1209 and a yearn to shake the hand of the original carbon-footprint-fearmonger himself?

An official announcement sent out for the Green-A-Palooza in Copenhagen to meet Al Gore.

From Meet Al Gore at Copenhagen, for $1,209:

“Tickets are available in different price ranges for the event. If you want it all, you can purchase a VIP ticket, where you get a chance to shake hands with Al Gore, get a copy of Our Choice and have your picture taken with him. The VIP event costs DKK 5,999 and includes drinks and a light snack.”

How much is that in American dollars? The currency conversion says all too: 5,999 Danish kroners is equivalent to $1,209.

The announcement also says that if you don’t want to spring for a handshake and snacks, you can get a seat to hear Gore’s traveling fantasy salvation show. Cost? Only DKK 199 – 1,499/seat.

Green is the new red. Except when there’s money to be made.

Then Green is the new Green.
