Al Gore, Bali and…. YOU!

Al Gore will be speaking to the UN Climate Change Conference this week in Bali calling for a treaty that goes far beyond Kyoto.

This treaty will include every country in the world, developed or otherwise. It will call for a moratorium on new coal-fired power generators that do not include CO2 capture and storage. And most revolutionary of all, it will propose, not an addition of tax, but a change from a tax system based on income, to one based on pollution.

Finally, the treaty he proposes should be ratified in two years, and will call on world leaders to meet several times per year until the situation is under control.

And to help make his proposal, Al Gore is asking for your help. He will take with him on stage a petition showing support for his treaty, which you can sign at ClimateProtect.org

Sign today to stand with Al in Bali!

Type your comment here.If the treaty goes from a tax system based on income to one based on pollution will China, who is the number one polluter, pay their fair share and who will make them?

Al Gores folklore is an elitist attempt at a carbon tax which is absurd. This is a natural cycle for the planet and we are actually entering an another ice age as ice core samples taken over a span of millions of years prove vs. a few thousand years for Gore who takes a small snip it of the graph to prove his erronious point of warming vs Co2 emmissions. The warming preceeds the Co2 rise not the other way around as Gore so falsely claims. The sun is in control not us and how arrogant it is to suggest such a thing. I don’t need a tax on something nature needs to survive and we need to survive when the plants turn the cardon dioxide into oxygen.
