This week Al Gore, Barack Obama and Joe Biden met privately to discuss “energy and climate change and how policies in this area can stimulate the economy and create jobs”.

Although it seems Obama did not offer Gore to be his “energy czar” he did say that “the time for delay and denial is over”. And that “we all believe what the scientists have been telling us for years now”.

Watch the video on YouTube.
