VIDEO: Gore refuses to answer "climategate" questions, UN security stops journalist again

Last week Phelim McAleer, a journalist and film maker was prevented by armed UN security guards from asking a Stanford University professor questions on climategate. Yesterday it happened again.

This time McAleer was attempting to give former Vice President Al Gore an opportunity to correct the record on the "climategate" emails after he delivered a speech at the UN climate summit in Copenhagen. During a recent interview Gore said the emails were ten years old and therefore irrelevant. In fact some of the most incriminating emails were written only about two months ago.

Gore refused to answer McAleer's questions as he was leaving the conference. As Gore's entourage walked along with McAleer in tow, Gore's Press Secretary grabbed McAleer's microphone saying, "We're not doing interviews." A UN security guard then pulled the cord from the mic.

Gore has repeatedly refused to answer questions from reporters about his views on climate change. McAleer had his mic cut at a recent speech Gore gave when McAleer attempted to ask the former VP questions.

During Gore's speech he claimed that the polar ice cap in the Arctic will completely disappear during the summer within 5-7 years.

"These figures are fresh," said Gore. "Some of the models suggest to Dr. [Wieslav] Maslowski that there is a 75 per cent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years.”

But Dr. Maslowski quickly distanced himself from Gore's assertion.

“It’s unclear to me how this figure was arrived at,” Dr Maslowski said. “I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this.”

It is clear that Gore has zero credibilty when it come to climate change. Yet he remains the figurehead of the movement. If that's not enough to cast doubt on the entire theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming, then I've got a tropical island off the coast of Greenland I'd like to sell you.

    It is nothing less than a sheer outrage that the U.N. continues to use security with guns to force journalists into silence! All the while they wish to disarm citizens all over the world. But one good thing is watching Algore squirm over his being caught with his pants down.
