The Media Research Center

Al Gore apparently has canceled a high-priced speaking engagement during the upcoming climate change conference in Copenhagen.

As NewsBusters reported Tuesday, the Nobel Laureate was slated to lecture about his new book "Our Choice" where attendees could pay over $1,200 a ticket for the right to meet the Global Warmingist-in-Chief and have their picture taken with him.

According to Danish newspaper Berlingske, this has been canceled due to "unforeseen changes" to Gore's schedule (rough translation follows, h/t Marc Morano):

Al Gore has this morning told Berlingske Media's great annoyance has canceled his planned major climate talks for Danes 16th December 1 Tap in the old Carlsberg because, under the title "Climate Conclusion".

Cancellation comes with regard to unforeseen changes in Al Gore's program for the climate summit, COP 15. [...]

Around 3000 the Danes had already secured a ticket for Berlingske Media's event, planned since August and should have taken place just two days before the climate summit, COP 15, will end. [...]

We have had a clear-cut agreement, and it is unusual with great disappointment that we have to announce that Al Gore cancels.

From what NewsBusters can tell, this is the $1,200 per handshake lecture. Unfortunately, the link advertising this event at VisitCopenhagen.com now goes to a page claiming "This page cannot be found."

However, the cached version disclosed:

The lecture with Al Gore is on 16 December 2009 in one of the old bottling halls, Tap 1, at Carlsberg Brewery. Tap 1 is a new venue for concerts, lectures and exhibitions in Copenhagen's new developing area of Carlsberg's old brewery site.

Obviously, this is the same event that Berlingske claims has been canceled.

Makes one wonder why VisitCopenhagen.com chose to scrub this event completely from its website rather than inform folks it's been canceled.

Exit question: Do the "unforeseen changes" to Gore's schedule have something to do with ClimateGate and/or the fee being charged for his handshake?

Stay tuned.

Pretty simple.

Al Gore cancelled because his bullshiat would harm the envionment.

Even stranger, the mayor of Copenhagen has been telling hotel owners not to assist COP15 visitors in making arrangements with local prostitutes. I'm guessing the political whores from all over the globe would resent having the competition.

Here's a question for you environmentalists out there: Aren't latex condoms harmful to the environment? I mean, they can't be used more than once, they fill up the landfills and can choke seabirds and scavengers. Shouldn't enviros be out front campaigning to ban condom usage if they want to have a consistent message? Just a thought.

Plastic bottled water is the biggest scam, altho I get great water here.

When it gets warm it releases a chemical which mimicks estrogen.

Anyone who "knows me on these forums" knows that I officially parted ways with the Democratic Party in 2005.

Am I still a liberal?

Yeah, I guess you're right: After all, the righties on this board always talk about how the effects of a president's economic policies aren't fully realized until after he's left office.

(Oh wait - that argument only works when they're trying to give Red Ink Ron and Poppy credit for the Clinton economy.) Ha!

Me too. A mistake I will never make again. No more Republican Lite for me.

That was my mindset right up until the repukes put Palin on their ticket.

At that point I felt it was imperative to do whatever was necessary to prevent the Bible Spice Freak Show from ending up a heartbeat away from the presidency.

If you recall, during the run-up to the election, many conservatards on this board were trying to paint Obama as a "socialist" or "the most liberal senator" or whatever, and I was always quick to point out that Obama, like Hillary, wasn't very far from the repuke candidates on that Political Compass Test graph.

What I do know is you saying you wouldnt vote for Hillary, doing a lot of whining about McCain-Palin, more whining about Bush, praying to your Algore shrine, then acting like a drunk slut at a frathouse once peter pan got elected.

You also celebrated like a retard in a room full of bouncy balls in '06 when the party you "officially parted ways with" took the house and senate.

Congressman Barton from Texas (check this retard's misuse of the word "stipulate" :giggle:) is so stupid he missed Gore's analogy at first blush. So Gore drove it home over and over and over until Barton could perhaps grasp the meaning.

I still don't get it. Why did they pick her LABF. I couldn't vote for him after that either, I left it blank.

Obviously they worried about the religious right but IMO those people would have still voted republican. There were way better choices that would have made election closer.

I don't get it what is it with the Palin thing?

The GOP picked her because picking a figurehead with whom the rubes could identify worked with the Kennebunkport Cowboy and Red Ink Ron.

They figured going with a "cult of personality" candidate was still a viable strategy.

Thankfully, they figured wrong in this instance.
