He accepted a nomination for a peace prize based on lies. He went to Bali, following the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize, and he denounced USA efforts in climate management.
A few facts;
In the seven years between the signing of Kyoto in 1997 and 2004, here’s what happened:
•Emissions worldwide increased 18.0 percent;
•Emissions from countries that signed the treaty increased 21.1 percent;
•Emissions from nonsigners increased 10.0 percent; and
•Emissions from the United States increased 6.6 percent.
n.b. these are Al Gore's figures. Yet he says “My own country, the United States, is principally responsible for obstructing progress here.”
If by progress, one understands that Gore is trying to increase carbon dioxide levels, his claim makes sense. Anyway, no serious person believes in the link, it is the sun that affects global warming, and right now, the sun is cooling.
