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:

Al Gore greets Church leaders. M. Russell Ballard.  Quentin L. Cook

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.

Barack Obama’s Saturday Utah visit may have been thwarted due to President Hinckley’s funeral, but the Obama campaign has not given up on Utah.  Michele Obama met today with Elders Ballard and Cook.

Although the Church is neutral in party politics, it is common for political and government leaders to pay brief calls on Church leadership. The half-hour meeting focused mostly on family values.

A busy day at temple sqaure. Plus, Elders Ballard and Cook seem to be the politics/Church public affairs duo of the Twelve.

Elders Ballard and Cook meet with the editorial boards of USA Today, U.S. News & World Report, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal,the New Republic, and (my favorite) the National Review.   U.S. News published something but I wonder of anything else will directly result from any of the other publications.
