Anywho, the answer is NO.
However, he did get his Internet thingy working pretty well.

I may be old fashioned, but I think it's wrong to publicly attack and criticize your own country overseas. It is doubly wrong to do so in the presence of those who hate the United States.
Al Gore,....said, he is "not an official of the United States," he is free to attack his native country anywhere.
This month in Bali, Indonesia, the United Nations held a conference on global warming for the purpose of extending the Kyoto Protocols, which will formally end in 2012. The United States -- concerned about Kyoto's effect on economic growth -- has refused to ratify the Protocols. On July 25, 1997, the U.S. Senate rejected then Vice President Gore's advice and voted 95-0 to reject the Kyoto Protocols.
...Al Gore appeared at the Bali conference and said, "I am not an official of the United States and I am not bound by the diplomatic niceties. So I am going to speak an inconvenient truth. My own country, the United States, is principally responsible for obstructing progress here in Bali. We all know that."
Oh, really? And just how do we all know that? Is it true that the U.S. is "principally responsible for obstructing progress" in Bali? The New York Times, which applauds the former Vice President, reported on December 14 that "[t]he emerging economic powers, most notably China and India, also refuse to accept limits on their emissions, despite projections that they will soon become the dominant sources of the gases." The same Times article stated while the U.S. opposes an agreement that would include numerical targets, so do "a few other countries, including Russia."
...
Unregulated emissions from China, India and other developing countries are likely to account for most of the global increase in carbon dioxide emissions over the next quarter-century.

No.
Do I really have to read the article?
In a word, NO.
You have to ask?
NO!
It’s actually pretty good.
For a Democrat, Koch has a sensible streak instead of a yellow one.
snort.
Excuse me, but the US at least is trying to follow the rules whereas the majority of the world doesn't acknowlege there are any rules to begin with.
I suppose that the UN paid Gore to appear at the conference and supplied his usuall G3 plus a Presidential Suite at the Hyatt. Does anyone know?
This is what liberal politicians, and most members of the party of RATS do best. They speak to the crowd no matter if friend or enemy they say what the crowd wishes to hear.
Attention MA Freepers in Sen. Bob Hedlund’s district. You have a problem.
Gore failed almost every course he took in the natural sciences. This was before he flunked out of divinity school. The guy is a complete fraud.
Jane Fonda, are you listening?
If your question is about Gore’s ability to run a confidence game to amass $100 million in personal assets by propagating FUD regarding the religion of GW, the answer is clearly, yes.
Let’s face it. Al Gore doe not belong to just us anymore. We now have to share him with the rest of the world no matter how much it may hurt our feelings. :)
Does anyone know of a published study as to how much the Kyoto protocols would have cost our economy?
Like I always tell lefties:
I’ll believe paying more taxes is a good thing when I see you paying in more than you have to.
I’ll believe we should reduce our lifestyle to “solve” global warming when I see those promoting it reducing their lifestyles.
I’ll believe involuntarily paying for someone else’s health insurance is a good thing when I see you doing it voluntarily.
