Gore calls Bush greenhouse summit plan 'smoke and mirrors'"

[cal04]

Former vice president Al Gore said Friday President Bush's call for a summit to look at ways to reduce greenhouse gases is "purely and simply smoke and mirrors."

At a book signing for his new book "The Assault on Reason," Gore said Bush's suggestion on Thursday that the U.S. and other nations need to meet to develop a long-term strategy for cutting the gases that trap heat on the Earth is a delay tactic.

"Just yesterday the president offered a new approach that is purely and simply smoke and mirrors and has the transparent purpose of delaying the efforts that could start now," Gore said before the signing at a shopping mall in his hometown of Nashville.

"The other nations are ready to go ... the world is looking to the United States of America for the moral leadership we should be providing right now - not at some point a decade from now," Gore said.

Honestly, I wish * wouldn't pretend to care like he's interested. He made it quite clear long ago what he thinks of global warming.
