Climate campaigner Al Gore has canceled a lecture he was supposed to deliver in Copenhagen.Of course, speculation is that this is a result of "Climategate" .... (not that Gore was involved in the emails)
The former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner had been scheduled to speak to more than 3,000 people at a Dec. 16 event hosted by the Berlingske Tidende newspaper group.
The group says Gore canceled the lecture Thursday, citing unforeseen changes in his schedule.
Meanwhile, Senator Boxer is calling for a criminal investigation. I hope they do track down the person(s) involved. After all, we do not want to ignore the fact that hacking is a criminal offense.
And Senator Inhofe wants Congressional investigations, which I am sure will go above and beyond the hacking itself and into whether global warming is for real. (Yes, it is for real, despite all the crazy emails.)
This is typically supposed to be a slow news period--from Thanksgiving until a week into the new year. But, it has turned out to be one busy time: I mean, climategate, Woods' woods and irons, Afghanistan war, civil war for the roses, .....aaaaahhhhh, please, slow down .....
Anyway, here is Al Gore when he appeared on the Colbert Report:
