Al Gore will finally meet with Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jon Leiber to discuss the player's monster truck (pictured at left). Gore had pressured Lieber to meet back in April when the truck first appeared in the public eye.
"Since being injured I've just had a lot more time to think about the situation and it's a bitch to parallel park," Lieber answered when asked why he finally agreed to meet.
Gore believes that the truck, which produces 21 gagillion pounds of pollution/hour, is the single source of Global Warming. Leiber, at first, declined to meet with Gore calling the accusations comical. World leaders then began to urge the pitcher to meet with the former Vice President and almost-President.
The Prime Minister of Australia, John Howard, expressed his deep concern over the situation. "We need Jon to sit down and talk with Al to bring light to the severity of the situation," he said in a funny Australian accent. He also noted that he knows very little about baseball, America's pastime.
Gore claims that the green house gas emissions from Jon's vehicle is almost three times that of the entire United States. "It's a grave situation. But the entire planet should be excited that we have finally identified the cause of our environmental problems and that Jon is willing to work with us," a happy Gore told the audience.
The goal of the meeting is to get the truck off the streets and into the garage...Permanently!... On a sidenote Gore told the audience to look for 'An Inconvenient Truth II: Take THAT Global Warming' in theaters in June of next year.
