Al Gore calls on Barack Obama to 'act boldly' on climate change

The former vice-president and climate champion, Al Gore, has called on Barack Obama to seize the moment and use his re-election victory to push through bold action on climate change.

The president has faced rising public pressure in the wake of superstorm Sandy to deliver on his promise to act on global warming.

But none of those calling on Obama to act carries the moral authority of Gore, who has devoted his post-political career to building a climate movement.

Now, Gore said, it is the president's turn. He urged Obama to immediately begin pushing for a carbon tax in negotiations over the "fiscal cliff" budget crisis.

Moonbeam, the unions and the Marxist cronies in on the sham passed it here in CA. It will cost billions and drive up costs and the proceeds will fill union pension coffers.

China thanks you for driving the rest of your manufacturing their way. China also adds more than a California-worth of emissions every year (8.33 billion tonnes in 2010, 8.9 billion in 2011 versus 0.46 billion for Cali) Cali might get theirs down to 0.4 billion if their economy goes into the tank.

What Hurricane Sandy was not bold enough. How about that hurricane that interrupted the GOP convention? Geeeze Algore we cannot afford too many more of Obama’s interventions.
