AAP: Tony Abbott's insistence that bushfires aren't linked to climate change is like the tobacco industry claiming smoking doesn't cause lung cancer, Nobel laureate Al Gore says. In light of the New South Wales bushfire disaster, the former US vice-president says the prime minister's comment that bushfires are a function of life in Australia and nothing to do with climate change reminds him of politicians in the US who received support from tobacco companies, and who then publicly argued the companies'...

Hill: Al Gore ripped U.S. television coverage of climate change Friday, alleging the media is cowering before industry-funded global warming "deniers." Here in the U.S., the news media has been intimidated, frightened, and not only frightened, they are vulnerable to distorted news judgments because the line separating news and entertainment has long since been crossed, and ratings have a big influence on the selection of stories that are put on the news, Gore said in remarks at the Brookings Institution....
