Gore Cancels $1,200/Handshake Event in Copenhagen

With the climate summit taking place next week in Copenhagen, it came as no surprise that Al Gore planned to show up and make some money off his notoriety as Global Warmist-in-Chief.

The former vice president planned to attend an event in which guests could purchase tickets for the low, low price of $1,200 each for a chance to get their picture taken with the Nobel Laureate.

According to Danish newspapers (h/t climatedepot) today, however, Gore's camp has cancelled his appearance due to "unforeseen changes" in his schedule. Call me a skeptic, but could this have anything to do with the evolving case surrounding the Climategate emails?

Perhaps the "changes" in his schedule are to give Gore time to pack his bags and board a private jet to a country with no extradition...
