Former Vice President Al Gore and current White House climate change czar Carol Browner are warning companies and lawmakers that the courts will step in to regulate greenhouse gases if Congress fails to act.
"All of the discussion has been about the president and the Congress," Gore told journalists at a U.N. press conference Tuesday. "We have a third branch of government: the courts."

Will judges require anything like PROOF, or will they simply believe the left in everything it says?
CWII probably.
This is nothing short of a call for a coup d’état by the courts.
The left doesn't believe in needing proof for anything.

Taking the Lead on Climate Change for the First Time
Posted by Carol Browner
Today, I joined the President on his trip to the United Nations Climate Change Summit, where President Obama called on leaders from around the world to come together in pursuing policies that allow economies to grow without endangering out planet. The President delivered a message of international unity because no nation – regardless of size or wealth – can escape the impacts of climate change. As President Obama said today, rising sea levels threaten every coastline; threats like more powerful storms and floods, more frequent droughts and hunger are challenges that know no borders.
It was an honor to join President Obama today at this historic UN Summit. And it was inspiring to see the many faces of the United Nations joined together to tackle this challenge.

The time we have to reverse this tide is running out. But I am confident that we can reverse it.
And no administration in the history of the United States has done more to promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in eight months than this one. From making the largest-ever investment in renewable energy to investing billions to cut energy waste, and proposing for the first time ever a new national standard aimed at both increasing fuel economy and reducing greenhouse gas pollution for all new cars and trucks. And most importantly, the House of Representatives passed an energy and climate bill in June that would finally make clean energy the profitable kind of energy for American businesses and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We are looking forward to engaging with the Senate as they craft their legislation.
Still, despite bold action from many of the nations seated before the UN, we know that much work remains to be done. And the President highlighted this point in his speech when he said, “We came [to the UN] because there’s so much more progress to be made.” And there is progress to be made on all sides. Both developed nations that have caused much of the damage to our climate over the last century and developing nations that will produce nearly all the growth in carbon emissions in the decades ahead must do their parts.
As we continue down this path of progress, we know we must also energize our efforts to put other developing nations – especially the poorest and most vulnerable – on a path to sustainable growth. Today the United States sat among these countries and pledged our to live up to our responsibility to provide the financial and technical assistance needed to help these nations adapt to the impacts of climate change and pursue low-carbon development. Today we called on all nations to not simply seek an agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, but to seek an agreement that will allow all nations to grow and raise living standards without endangering our planet.
This great challenge has come to the fore among all nations of the world today – and from the floor of the UN General Assembly, for the first time, it was the United Stands that stood up to take the lead.

I wonder how well the white guilt psychology will work this time around? My guess is it won't.
Hi Opentalk...
Gore is a liying ^%$#$...his whole life, book, movie, Emmy, “carbon ofsets”...are all based on 100% lies.
There is climate change...but there always has been...its caused by OUR SOLAR SYSTEM...NOT the rise in CO2.
Its been proven that temperatures rise..BEFORE CO2 rises.
GORES EVERYTHING is based on “his facts” that CO2 cause’s the Earths temperature to rise...which is 1000% NOT True.
Ask any “normal” non-left wing radical scientist...
BTW: a year or so a go when GORE had his big South American “global warming”...Venue...
One day later....80 mile’s away...IT SNOWED...LOL...Had not snowed their in almost 100 years...more...LOL
The Earth has been in over a TEN YEAR COOLING period the last 10 years...while this ^&&%$ Head i8s making hundreds of millions of dollars...LYING!
Peace!

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) plans to introduce an amendment Thursday morning banning the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating carbon dioxide. article
Economically, as well as politically, these areas will continue their march into a benign, progressive pseudo Marxist dictatorship of green politics and police state control.
Hi opentalk,
You got this nailed down 100% correct.
The ^%$# that is/has been ‘spoon feed’ to Americans and the rest of the world...is just that bull&^^%%$....
None of its true...except that “AL” owns a huge interest in the biggest “Carbon Offset” company on the planet....where his nrw Hollywood rich buddies, and other general rich people go to.... pay them after they take a fight on on off their private plans...to make themselves feel better. Gores making millions of this scam also...
Carbon Offsets: I can pollute as much as I want and not “feel Guilty”...just as long as I PAY money for a “carbon Offset...
What an insane joke...and way of thinking.
All the while telling the rest of the “normal people” in the world to: Walk, Ride A Bike, Ride a Skateboard or take public Transportation...
UNREAL!
Peace!
Dan
Typical liberals. When you can’t pass your agenda on the merits, use the courts to rule by judicial fiat.
What a horrendous decision by the Supreme Court. They’ve opened up a huge can of worms.
