Former V.P. Gore meets with LDS Church leaders today

Gore, now an environmental activist who shared the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming, is believed to have requested the meeting with the LDS Church’s First Presidency. It is not known what he wants to discuss.

I’d say it’s a safe bet that he wants to enlist the Church in his global warming crusade. Responsible stewardship is one thing but I can’t see the Church signing on to his doom and gloom prophesying (and profiteering).

BUMPED: The Newsroom has a short report on Al Gore’s visit:

Mr. Gore had a brief courtesy meeting with President Monson and then met with Elder M. Russell Ballard, Elder Quentin L. Cook, and others members of the Church’s Public Affairs Committee. He gave a 30 minute presentation and expressed his concerns about CO2 emissions, which was followed by several minutes of questions and answers.
