Former Vice President Al Gore on Saturday stressed he was "certain" the president would attend a climate change conference in Copenhagen later this year.

So far, President Barack Obama has signaled he would only attend the U.N.'s summit if other heads of state did too, but Gore this weekend predicted the president would change his mind as Congress progressed further on climate change legislation.

"I see the calendar, I see the unfolding of events, and I feel certain he will go," Gore told a German newspaper during an interview, adding that Congress is likely to move on cap-and-trade before the December summit.

"Therefore, I think there is a very real prospect that the legislation will pass, and that as a result, Obama will have the ability to go to Copenhagen with a more substantive position," the former vice president added.

However, even if Obama does not attend, the United States will be represented in Copenhagen: A number of lawmakers have signaled this month their intentios to participate in the December summit.

The only concession is that this is the Algore that predicted we'd all be dead by now.

Of course he is going. All his fellow fascists wanna bees will be going.

Of course Obama will go. The whole idea of creating suspense is to increase interest and the importance of him being there. It is all political theater.

Obama going to the Climate summit (UN)could turn out badly for the US. Remember we are under “National Emergency” which means the President can sign anything he wants without any legistration. Meaning he can sign the US over to the United Nations. Beware....Don't take this lightly!

I predict Gore will die from overdosing on his own flatus.

[Overtaxed Patriot]

Why shouldn’t the person with the world’s largest carbon footprint attend the event?

[Conan the Librarian]

Will he bring his powerpoint show about Manbearpig?

Might as well go for something meaningful as opposed to the fantasitc like AGW.

I think we all know somehow this administration will manage to sign the U.S. over to the globalists. I’m betting a large number of us are doing what we can to rally congress to prevent. I also am betting that congress has their collective fingers in their ears singing lalalalalala...

Well, Al Baby IS a coward, and an ignorant one at that. He is not intellectually up to the debate, unfortunately. It would be wonderful to see Lord Moncton eviscerate him.
