Of course it's not proper! The only reason he does this is because a republican is in the White House, and not any of his political allies.
Watch, if Hillary or Obama get elected, all his retoric will stop and he will go back to loving his country overnight.
If Giuliani, Romney, or Huckabee get elected, he'll spew more of the same venom.

Poor Batty Bat. Our President was born in an American State. Hawaii is a State. But the soil is not connected to the American Continent. I am not sure what year that Hawaii became a State. I would have to look that up. Just think John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone. He was NOT born on American Soil and he is still thinking about trying again to become the President. How can he be President ??? Sure his Father was stationed in Panama, but he was still born on Foreign Soil.

Yes; he is very right. He spoke as the representative of "the new world order" not just an American.
It is wrong for US to link with India and China emissions. The reason is, US for last 200 years has emitted 19689992350 Billion tons of carbon dioxide while India so far in its life emitted only 456080 Billion tons and China emitted only 340238900 Billion tons.
Therefore, even though India and China will soon come close to US in this malpractice, if you look at totals so far, they are far behind us.
Also, they are developing nations and they need more technological incentives from developed nations to even think about green house gases and lead contamination.

It's not proper, but he has a right to free speech, as do I so I declare "Al Gore as the Dictator of the Village Idiots"
He's such a hypocrite...(Fly around the world in a private jet and ask people to ride their bike to work)

He is free to say what he wants, even if I disagree with him. The problem with his comets is that they are not entirely correct. The USG is not the central problem with climate control. The US has more rules and regulations on carbon and pollution than any major industrialized country in the world.
The problem is China and India who have BOTH balked at using any pollution controls. China will surpass the USA in 2008 in using more carbon pollution materials than the USA. Gore needs to go to China and India and breath their air.

No it isn't! And that's a very good reason to NOT vote for him if he decides to run for President. Gore will say and do whatever is necessary to put himself first. It's sad.

Maybe he'll due a nude photo shoot? I am sure the Dixie Chicks could give him a few pointers.
He is one of the most dangerous type of crusaders. He is a true believer and that can blind one to the truth.

I bet somebody paid thousands in carbon offsets for him to get to Bali..that guy is a self annointed rock-star and his legions want you to just lay down so they can tax you silly and ask you later how it felt..

No, but as a free-thinking liberal, who doesn't care about country, rather what others think of him, since a majority of the world hates the U.S., bad-mouthing the policies of the u.s. is the in-thing to do.

It is no longer out of the "norm" for Democrats to badmouth and even slander our nation and our leaders on soil foreign and domestic. Wrong, but normal.
