Al Gore Urges 'Civil Disobedience' Toward Coal Plants Al Gore called Wednesday for "civil disobedience" to combat the construction of coal power plants without the ability to store carbon, Reuters reported. The former vice president, whose efforts to raise awareness of global warming have made him the most prominent voice on that issue, made the comment during a session at the fourth annual Clinton Global Initiative in Manhattan. "If you're a young person looking at the future of this planet and looking at what is being done right now, and not done, I believe we have reached the stage where it is time for civil disobedience to prevent the construction of new coal plants that do not have carbon capture and sequestration," Gore said, according to Reuters. It wasn't clear what specific action he intended by "civil disobedience," which calls for the intentional violation of laws deemed to be unjust....The last time I saw Gore he looked like he was the one who needed to get out and do some marching.
