Former Vice President Al Gore will call on automakers to drop their lawsuit against California's tough new vehicle emissions standards tonight -- an appeal designed to coincide with today's implementation of the Kyoto treaty to curb world output of global-warming gases.
Tuesday, Gore told reporters that the United States' refusal to join 140 countries in the Kyoto pact is a moral failing and that California's car emissions rules -- the toughest in the world -- help to fill that vacuum.
The California law, adopted in September, is the first in the nation to limit carbon dioxide emissions from vehicles. Excessive carbon dioxide is believed to be the main global warming factor.
