[clip begins partway through former Vice-President Al Gore's speech at the Brookings Institution this morning] ...I will have more to say about this [climate change report] on many other occasions, but, because this report was released just hours before we gathered here, I would not have felt right about not addressing it.He could barely contain his contempt.

Be a shame if we had to destroy it. We have a list of demands. If you don't meet 'em all by our deadline, we'll blow up the global economy."
[pause] Really? Um. Where are the American people in this? Why does partisanship have anything to do with such a despicable and dishonorable threat to the integrity of the United States of America?
