[Dispatch from Gore's world] - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Climate Change campaigner Al Gore says he is still optimistic an agreement to reduce carbon emissions can be finalised at global climate talks later this year in Denmark.

At the G8 leaders meeting in Italy, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd told his Danish counterpart that he fears the talks are not on track for a deal.

Speaking at a conference in Melbourne, Mr Gore said he was confident that a substantial agreement can be reached.

"I choose to be very optimistic," he said.

"I'm aware of how difficult it is, but I'm also aware of how the pressure from publics around the world has been building and we see the same thing all over the world."

"One of the failures in the Kyoto process was that the United States and Australia did not provide the kind of leadership necessary," he said.

In the National Review, Iain Murray of the Competitive Enterprise Institute lists 25 countervailing criticisms that he states are omissions from Gore's book, "An Inconvenient Truth." In his book, "The Skeptical Environmentalist," former Greenpeace activist Bjorn Lomborg debunks alarmist assertions about global warming with a plethora of something "enviromarxists" overlook: Facts. And his is not the first such treatise.

To be sure, it must be said that the monolithic worldwide movement that embraces global warming as indisputable is political, rather than scientific. But if you cannot trust your politicians, who can you trust?

I believe it is time for a political force in the UK to uncover the nakedness of the climate-change political procession.
