International climate campaigner Al Gore has warned that Australia is "in the line of fire'' on climate change, after meeting Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in Sydney.
Mr Gore and Mr Rudd discussed climate issues in a meeting yesterday morning before fronting the media.
"Australia is in the line of fire where the climate crisis is concerned,'' said Mr Gore, who has won a Nobel Prize for his work on the dangers of global warming.
"No nation is more vulnerable to the impact scientists have predicted and no nation has greater renewable energy resources and a greater capacity to develop alternative sources of energy and contribute to a solution for the climate crisis,'' he said.
