It seems the uncertainty about Copenhagen is growing. When Al baby pulls the plug, you know it’s hosed.
From Berlingske: Al Gore cancels lecture during COP15

Looks like they will get a refund though. Might be worth more as a collectors item in ten years though.
I wonder how many people have shelled out $1200 to shake Al’s hand? Maybe not enough and he couldn’t cover the expenses for his private jet?
From the Washington Post:
“Have you ever shaken hands with an American vice president? If not, now is your chance. Meet Al Gore in Copenhagen during the UN Climate Change Conference,” notes the Danish tourism commission, which is helping Mr. Gore promote “Our Choice,” his newest book about global warming in all its alarming modalities.
“Tickets are available in different price ranges for the event. If you want it all, you can purchase a VIP ticket, where you get a chance to shake hands with Al Gore, get a copy of Our Choice and have your picture taken with him. The VIP event costs DKK 5,999 and includes drinks and a light snack.”
Wait, what? How much is that in American dollars? The currency conversion says it all, too: 5,999 Danish kroners is equivalent to $1,209.
“If you do not want to spend that much money, but still want to hear Al Gore speak about his latest book about climate challenges, you can purchase general tickets, ranging in price from DKK 199-1,499 depending on where in the room you want to sit,” the practical Danes advise. “There will be large screens, so that everyone will get a good view.”
Yah, such a deal.

Like Al, I’m speechless.
Like rats deserting a sinking ship.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be sinking if they hadn’t gnawed so many holes in the hull?
Talk about a courageous stand. The man just exudes leadership. Oh well, at least he has many residences where he can hide. The new shell game will be: Guess which energy-efficient home Big Al is hiding in?
The organizers of Copenhagen, obviously aware of the Gore effect, are trying to undo the blustery weather heading their way. It might work. Give them credit.
Why would anyone pay $1 dollar to listen to Al Bore talk about pseudoscience and manbearpig? Maybe they want to hear that the earth’s core is the same temperature as a small red dwarf star and the crust is very hot too (which explains the sheet of ice on my car this morning). He should’ve asked Travolta to take him. He’s going anyway so give your old buddy Al a lift.
I wonder how the sales of “Our Choice” are going.
This just keeps getting better.
I wonder if it is too late to purchase a ticket for $40 USD then put it on EBAY
Save 10,000 pounds CO2 an hour flying his plane. How altruistic of algore.
I saw this a bit ago and posted a link. I suspect with his ego, he is afraid of the worst. Will he return his Nobull Piece prize?
Domino #1?
I wonder how long it will be before these (useless) tickets start showing up on eBay? ;->
Joe Romm on Climate progress posted yesterday they are going armed with new Flip cameras. He will miss his shots of Joe Romm bowing to Algore and Obama bowing to James Hansen.
Hide the asinine.
You never see those guys with “The End is Near” sandwich boards smiling like Al is in this picture. Wattsupwiththat? Is that smile obscene or what? How can you be such a doomsday-er and still look like a silly sneak who just woke up and realized that he had won the lottery, an Oscar and a Nobel prize all at the same time and on complete joke. Now comes the later realization that the rest of the world is also just waking up, and will see him for what the charlatan he really is. His historic reputation is going to one for ages. The front man for the biggest scientific and political boondoggle ever. The bigger they are the harder they fall. He who smiles last smiles best.
Oh diddums, is being shouted at in a bookshop too much for you Al?
He’s had his own way for too long – now it’s all going wrong, and he can’t take a bit of flack…
You can run, but you can not hide..
Maybe Al has just seen this………
http://www.spectator.co.uk/coffeehouse/5595813/why-the-maldives-arent-sinking.thtml
“”The President of the Maldives recently held a Cabinet meeting underwater, saying his islands may be submerged. In an open letter, taken from the climate change supplement in the latest issue of the The Spectator, Nils-Axel Mörner assures him his country is safe……….””
Nils-Axel Morner is a sea level specilaist. Read his letter, it deserves framing…….
If you were to plot the attendance on a graph would it be an inverted hockey stick?
“Why would anyone pay $1 dollar to listen to Al Bore talk about pseudoscience and manbearpig?”
Insomniacs. It’s the perfect sedative.
It is impossible to write an “ad hominem” about him….☺
If this is really true, Copenhagen will be the biggest circus in History… More like a Roman arena!!! And I wanna see it!
Frankly, this is getting better each day!!!
Ecotretas
Gore has probably had a call from Hansen and taken his advice that Copenhagen agreements will not be ‘strong enough’ (to create a good investment vehicle in Gore’s case.)
He needs more time to work on his new book. Plastic the real threat to mankind.
Can we do a FOIA request to a former Vice President? I believe he’s still on our payroll.
Al looks like the Devil himself in that picture. It’s really eerie.
Nothing about this in the MSM
You’re all wrong.
Gore and Hansen needed the time to work out their new theory of Anthropogenic Global Cooling.
