Gordon Brown and President Gore in climate talks
(cross-posted from the UK forum in case anyone here wants to read it)

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5107024.stm

Gordon Brown and ex-US vice president Al Gore have jointly chaired a seminar on climate change at 11 Downing Street.

Environment Secretary David Miliband, other fellow ministers, MPs and think tanks also took part in discussions.

Mr Brown is later introducing a private screening of Mr Gore's environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth.

The film sets out the case for action using a PowerPoint presentation Mr Gore devised in the wake of his 2000 presidential defeat by George Bush.

Earlier Mr Gore said he believed people would conclude climate change was a moral rather than a political issue which would ultimately force politicians to alter their views.

He said a few wealthy polluters were spending millions of dollars on persuading the public that scientists were not yet certain climate change was caused by human activity. -snip-



Certainly a more pallatable image of Prime Minister and President than these two goobers:

4. A Whiff of "Regime Change" to come. President Gore/ PM Brown.....
It's not hard to see that Gore is quietly, persistently working in the background....just in case.
