Fresh from his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway on Monday, December 10, 2008, Al Gore announced to reporters at the United Nations Climate Change Conference that the United States was “principally responsible for obstructing progress here in Bali.”

He encouraged the the audience to wait for America’s next presidential election in 2008, stating, “One year and 40 days from today, there will be a new inauguration in the United States…I cannot promise that the person who is elected will have the position I expect they will have, but I can tell you I believe it is quite likely.”

Political affiliation aside, Al Gore is right that the United States has been a major roadblock toward international cooperation to help the environment. We’re immunized as a nation (for many reasons), but we must make an effort to help in any way we can. Sharing a ride to work or school will hardly have a negative impact on your life, but for our ailing planet, it will carry a substantially positive one.
