Prague, March 5 (CTK) - Former U.S. vice-president Albert Gore allegedly feared a direct confrontation with Czech President Vaclav Klaus at a conference on global warming, and this is why Gore's presentation was rescheduled for another day, Lidove noviny (LN) writes Thursday, referring to Klaus's spokesman.
Klaus will take part in the two-day international conference in Santa Barbara, the United States, on Friday, March 6 when he was to get involved in polemics with Gore, one of the main supporters of the global warming theory, which Klaus is sharply challenging.
However, Gore, a Nobel Peace prize winner, will speak at the conference Thursday. The organisers have changed the programme at the very last moment, LN writes.
"A dialogue (between Klaus and Gore) was to take place on one stage. We accepted the U.S. proposal positively. But the organisers reassessed the idea in the end," Klaus's spokesman Radim Ochvat told the paper.
"Gore might have feared such a clash," he added.
However the reason was allegedly more pragmatic, LN notes.
The organisers decided to change the conference programme to attract the maximum attention on both days as Klaus and Gore are the key speakers at the conference, LN writers, referring to a source close to the organisers.
Klaus will also touch upon global warming in his 30-minute speech titled "Europe, Global Warming and the Current Economic Crisis: As Seen from Prague" at the Columbia University in New York on Monday, Ochvat told LN.
Klaus has repeatedly criticised Gore for not being willing to listen to other climate theories.
Most recently, Klaus commented on global warming at the economic forum in Davos, Switzerland, in early February. In his speech Klaus said "the environmental militant approach to global warming" was challenging human freedom.

He’s a coward with a capital COW.
He should be afraid. Klaus is sharp, and he has facts on his side.
Why don’t he just go debate CNN’s, Campbell Brown? She wants to debate somebody.
ManBearPig....
I’m cereal, super cereal...
The only response from Al will be the ff:
“We are all going to die. No you don’t get it...you and I are going to die. Facts, schmacks...we are all going to die..”
Rubbish. A debate would draw even MORE attention. Chicken sh..!
Gore has been an effing coward for a long time. His stupid alpha male march in the 2000 prez debates showed a man that cannot be himself and be comfortable.
EXCELSIOR!!!!!
Quite simply AlGore is loony toon material. Yet his stooges are legion and skew towards hi-IQ. Go figure
Gore is a great testimony to the inability of people to discern who is credible and who is not.
Keep the populace busy covering their butts financially and they're too tired, confused and inept to elect intelligent, thoughtful and moral men/women to represent them!
Pray that we are not too deep in the whirlpool to swim back out!
How about a double-header? Gore/Vaclav and Obama/Rush!
As big as the Super Bowl.
LOL!
Hard to believe that idiot came close to being POTUS
Proud to be a Tn voter that voted no to Gore
America ran outta luck this time
God help us
I really like Vaclav Klaus.
listen... warming, cooling, it was 50/50. so i took a shot!!!
Ohh WOE is me... whys everybody pickin on me???
Al Gore, although stupid, is smart enough to know that this global warming crap is a hoax. That’s why he won’t debate. He thinks he can rely indefinitely on his fellow travelers in the press to continue to present it as fact.
