This from the guy whose method of clearing up debate on the podiums he is questioned from is to have the questioners mikes cut off and will not answer the hard questions that dispute his claims. Modern day Civil disobedience is like calling all the worlds anarchists to his cause. Spooky stuff.

Civil unrest has a role in stopping climate change, says Gore
Ahead of Copenhagen summit, former US vice-president says 'non-violent
lawbreaking' is legitimate in persuading governments to cut emissions

Al Gore has sought to inject fresh momentum into the Copenhagen
build-up, saying he is certain Barack Obama will attend and predicting
a rise in civil disobedience against fossil-fuel polluters unless
drastic action is taken over global warming.

Amid increasing incidents of climate protesters disrupting the
operations of fossil-fuel industries and airports in Britain and
elsewhere, Gore suggests the scale of the emergency means non-violent
lawbreaking is justified. "Civil disobedience has an honourable
history, and when the urgency and moral clarity cross a certain
threshold, then I think that civil disobedience is quite
understandable, and it has a role to play," he says. "And I expect
that it will increase, no question about it."

In his only UK newspaper interview to mark the publication of his new
book, entitled Our Choice, Gore says it is crucial for Obama to attend
Copenhagen in person, adding: "I feel certain that he will."

He remains optimistic, he insists, that the US Senate will pass a
climate change bill before Copenhagen – a move widely seen as vital
for persuading the world, especially developing countries, that the US
is serious about reducing emissions.

But Gore was speaking before reports this week that Harry Reid, the
Senate Democratic leader, would back Republican demands for a full
cost analysis of any such legislation – a process that could take five
weeks, postponing debate until after the Copenhagen summit.

On Thursday the UK climate change secretary, Ed Miliband, acknowledged
that hopes were fading that Copenhagen would result in a full treaty.

Nevertheless, there are "surprises … in store" on a potential Senate
bill, Gore says, citing confidential conversations between Democrats
and Republicans in which he has been involved. This week Democrats
made small but significant progress when they pushed the bill through
a vital committee stage despite a Republican boycott.

All this from a man set to profit from the cap and trade n carbon emissions.

Drifter

While flying around the world in a carbon footprint that would shame the average person.

Keep up the good work Mira!! The entire global warming/climate change propaganda is nothing but lies and misguided opinion. Science is never decided by consensus. It is proven by repeatable data. The global warming crowd does not have irrefutable data -- only conjecture.
