Al Gore attacks CSIRO's climate cuts and praises Labor's proposals

Former US Democratic vice-president says agency's decision will deeply affect the source of valuable research for the entire world

Al Gore has said the decision by Australia's science agency CSIRO to cut climate research should be "re-evaluated at the highest level", since they limit a source of critical information for the entire world as it attempts to solve the challenges posed by climate change.

The former US Democratic vice-president also praised the government's support for renewable energy and the Labor party's recent climate change policy announcement.
