Gore calls Tories' green plan a 'total fraud' Last Updated: Saturday, April 28, 2007 | 3:52 PM ET CBC News

Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, now one of the world's most famous climate-change activists, has called the federal government's new green plan "a fraud."

Gore criticized the plan while in Toronto on Saturday to attend the Green Living Show and screen his documentary on the environment, An Inconvenient Truth.

The Conservatives have said their strategy, introduced earlier in the week, will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and improve air quality, but Gore said he's heard it all before, south of the border, and he doesn't like what he hears.

"I'm hearing a reduction in intensity is going to be presented to the Canadian people as a legitimate policy," he said at the consumer environmental show. "In my opinion, it is a complete and total fraud. It is designed to mislead the Canadian people."

Gore said the rest of the world looks to Canada for moral leadership, and that's why news of the plan was so "shocking."

Never argue with an idiot like algored.

He'll just drag you down to his level of competence and beat you to death with experience.

At least they got the 'activist' part right. Most news articles recently have been calling him an 'expert'.

The human influence on global temperatures has been outed as a fraud. Why shouldn’t the plan to address it be likewise?

I can't be sure, but I think it means that you're neglecting to buy carbon offsets from the company in which he is a stockholder.

He should know what a total fraud is, after all, considering he is the poster child for total frauds worldwide.
