United Nations security officials have once again prevented a journalist from asking attendees at the climate change conference in Copenhagen questions about the growing ClimateGate scandal.
This time, the person on the receiving end of the apparently forbidden queries was Nobel Laureate Al Gore.
Much as when Ireland's Phelim McAleer tried to ask Stanford professor Stephen Schneider questions Thursday about the controversial e-mail messages obtained from the British Climatic Research Unit last month, McAleer was similarly rebuffed by Gore and his entourage Monday.
Not only did the former Vice President completely refuse to answer questions about his blatant misrepresentations of the age of the most recent e-mail message obtained from Britain's CRU, but a U.N. security official also disconnected McAleer's microphone to make sure any answers would be unrecorded (video embedded below the fold, h/t Climate Depot):

As reported by Not Evil Just Wrong Monday:
In several recent interviews the former vice president said that the Climategate emails were "sound and fury signifying nothing...the most recent one is more than 10 years old."
However the reality is that the most recent email from Climategate is less than two months old. The emails undermine the science of Climate Alarmism and that is why the alarmists are so reluctant to address them or like Mr Gore they make factually incorrect statements about how relevant they are.
Mr. Gore says he cares a lot about science and scientific accuracy. His whole theory of Climate Alarmism depends on it but today at the United Nations Copenhagen Climate Conference he refused several opportunities to correct the record when asked about his errors by journalist and film maker Phelim McAleer. Instead his Press Secretary grabbed McAleer's microphone to stop questions being put to the vice-president.
Have U.N. security officials been instructed to prevent journalists from asking climate realists uncomfortable questions?
Consider what happened when McAleer tried to ask Gore confidant Dr. Schneider about ClimateGate days earlier:

This is some scary stuff, folks.
Yet, according to LexisNexis, the only major media out to report the Schneider incident was the Washington Times. Will this episode go similarly ignored?
More importantly, will Gore EVER have to answer questions concerning the falsehoods he continually spreads?

“You can’t handle the truth!”
It has nothing to do with climate folks. It’s about control over the people of the world by the UN and countries governments.
Article 29.
(1) Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
(3) These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Just an observation....but this sure does start to resemble “brown shirt” days. The Nazi leadership stood up until questions got asked, and then the brown shirts did the clean up of the mess.
Al Gore know it all. He is the scientist who recently discovered the earth is millions of degrees several miles beneath the surface. The big announcement was made on the Conan show:

All the big players at the Copenhagen Summit already had their minds made up before they got there. Any questions that might change their way of thinking is not allowed.
It does begin to look something like that doesn’t it? Time to break up the power in DC.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans
If we can’t stop them through persuasion,
then it will be time to use other means.
These people don’t intend to let their control agenda
be dismantled by a little think like the truth.
No amount of inquiry or evidence will change their mind,
because their minds are made up on the true agenda.
They’re not going to allow anyone to EXPOSE them, though.
They hide and distort data.
They conspire to mislead the public and leaders.
They refuse to debate ideas or answer questions.
They call names to anybody who questions or disagrees.
questions and video taping shut down by armed guards.
mics turned off to shut down q&a.
so THIS is what they mean by “the science is settled” and “the debate is over”..............
algore...wimp. Always was always will be. Guess he feels important with all those people around him. Guess the guards feel really important too trying to silence the press.
You have to know how much algore hates his hasty invention of the internet.

If Watergate happened today, the boys at the Washington Post and New York Times would be fired for "taking out of school about the 'Establishment President'... Reporters are such brown noses for the democrats...
