Gore: Next US Leader to Work on Climate

Monday December 10, 2007 11:46 AM

OSLO, Norway (AP) - Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore
said Monday he believes the next U.S. president will
shift the country's course on climate change and engage
in global efforts to reduce carbon emissions.

“The new president, whichever party wins the election,
is likely to have to change the position on this climate
crisis,” Gore told The Associated Press in an interview
before accepting the peace prize at a ceremony in
Norway. “I do believe the U.S., soon, is to have a more
constructive role.”

The former vice president said it was not too late for
Bush administration to join efforts to draft a new global
treaty limiting greenhouse gas emissions.

“I have urged President Bush and his administration to
be part of the world community's effort to solve this
crisis,” Gore said. “I hope they will change their
position.”
