Former Vice-president Al Gore publicly supported what he called "non-violent lawbreaking" in a recent interview concerning his new book and the upcoming climate summit in Copenhagen. Gore said that civil unrest against fossil-fuel polluters is a legitimate and important method to promote drastic action against global warming. In addition, Gore states that he believes that it is crucial for President Obama to attend the 10-day Copenhagen summit, where countries traditionally send cabinet members or special climate negotiators.
