Gore: U.S. Blocking Climate Change Progress


Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Al Gore said yesterday that the U.S. was "principally responsible" for blocking progress at the UN climate conference being held in Bali, Indonesia. Specifically, the U.S. delegation, led by Undersecretary of State Paula Dobriansky, is rejecting specific emissions cut targets, saying "We don't have to resolve all these issues...here in Bali."

No, of course not, Paula. You can do what everyone expects the Bushies to do: punt it to the next administration taking office about 13 months from now. Another "heroic conservative!"
