| In a passionate speech, Mr Gore said: "We face a challenge in the conversation of democracy that we must be up to in order to save the climate balance on which our civilisation depends." He said he believed scientists who said that there may be 10 years remaining to avoid "crossing the point of no return". "Then does that change you? It should, it's happening on our watch," said the former vice-president. He said he was "carbon neutral" himself and he tried to offset any plane flight or car journey by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere". He tries to get Republicans to stop breathing He said the only way to bring about the change was "a sea change in the public's understanding and opinion". "The only way that political leaders of all parties will find the courage for the bold actions that are needed." Mr Gore was given a standing ovation by the audience whom he begged "to make the changes in your own life to make your part of the solution (to the problem)". He said: "There are more than enough people here to really change the world. "I hope that many of you will accept and act on that - so much is at stake." |

| #1 A factor not included in his 'carbon neutral' assessment: How much pollution and noxious gases result from the seething piles of bullshit that spew from his mouth? |
