Gore Wants Regular Summits on Global Warming

UNITED NATIONS - The world's top leaders should meet every three months, starting next year, until a plan is drawn up to reduce emissions blamed for global warming, former US Vice President Al Gore said on Monday. 

Gore, who has made climate change his signature issue since leaving the White House, told a UN meeting that presidents and prime ministers should go to Bali this year for talks on a follow-up pact to the Kyoto Protocol, which runs out in 2012.

Traditionally, environment ministers or lower-level negotiators attend the annual UN climate change talks, but Gore said leaders should go from now on and then have follow-up meetings.

"I would like to propose...that the heads of state around the world call an emergency session of this gathering for the beginning of next year to review the results of Bali," he said.
