More from Gore

From this post:

Gore praised the global wine trade for tackling climate change and taking the right steps. He addressed its areas of influence and political, ecological, ethical and economic responsibilities. He emphasised that “Things we measure get more attention than the things we don’t measure. So carbon dioxide has historically been treated as irrelevant. We are not putting a price on the horrible destruction that carbon is causing.” Gore is asking governments to monetize carbon dioxide via national taxes and tradable emissions credit instruments. He revealed that “800 US cities have independently joined the Kyoto Treaty”, but they realise little can be done unless they have “a national law”.

Pancho Campo, an ambassador of Al Gore’s Climate Project, lamented the lack of Spanish participation at the conference – Spaniards represented only 5% of attendees - while praising the Catalan government for its support.
