With Love, From Bali

From the article, “Al Gore lays blame for Bali stalemate on U.S.“:
“I am going to speak an inconvenient truth,” Gore told an audience of several hundred, playing on the name of his Oscar-winning documentary.
And in low tones he added: “My own country the United States is principally responsible for obstructing progress in Bali,” spurring rapturous applause and cheers.
Arriving fresh from Oslo, where he had collected the Nobel Peace Prize, Gore urged governments to forge a “new path” towards a global climate change agreement in spite of what he described as an obstructive United States.
“I don’t know how you can navigate around this enormous elephant in the room which I’ve been undiplomatic enough to name. But I’m asking you to do it,” he said.
Way to go Al, kick our asses!
