The Greens oppose the CPRS not because it is too weak, but because it will point Australia in the wrong direction with little prospect of turning it around in the timeframe within which emissions must peak, says Senator Christine Milne.
Al Gore, Nobel laureate: The climate challenge, in his words
|
“He came, he saw, he helped to save the planet.” Not a bad epitaph, and one that Al Gore might humbly argue. But for now, the former next US president will need to content himself with a Nobel peace prize shared with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The award was accepted in Stockholm yesterday, with Gore delivering a 22-minute lecture on the work still to be done in the battle against climate change.

Now THAT”S a victory acceptance speech. A must watch, standing ovation at the end. As you watch Chubby Al you can’t help thinking he’s a metaphor for western society seriously needing a diet. It’s going to be painful. And very unlikely like Chile ‘72(!).
Surely he accepted the award in Oslo, not Stockholm?
