Today Gore is making news in Japan where he is asking the Japanese to embrace the idea of pressuring the United States towards cooperation in the Kyoto Protocol.
He also is publicly stating that he is not running for President in 2008.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore said on Monday he would not run in the next presidential race, despite rumors that he might build on the higher profile created by his environmental campaign to do so.
Asked whether he had plans to stand in the 2008 election, Gore ruled it out, adding: "I'm involved in a different kind of campaign."
During a visit to Japan to promote his award-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth", Gore also urged Japan's top business lobby to spark a policy change on global warming by sending a strong message to its U.S. counterparts.
