Gore Predicts Shift in Bush Climate Policy
http://www.enn.com/today.html?id=11202&ref=rss

OSLO — Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore predicted on Tuesday that President George W. Bush would shift to do more to fight global warming, under Republican pressure from California to New York.

"I think there is a better than 50-50 chance that President Bush will change his policy in the next two years," Gore told an audience in Oslo after showing his documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" about global warming during a tour of Europe.

"Many of his strongest supporters are changing their positions and are becoming vocal in asking him to change," Gore told about 300 people including Norway's Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and Environment Minister Helen Bjoernoy.

The United States and Australia are the only two industrial nations outside the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol, which caps emissions of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels burned in factories, power plants and cars.

1. Oh, Al. You know better than that.
Only if the oil companies can make a killing on it somehow.
