After all he his already doing the sitting in an airplane part. Maybe Al Gore could organize a sit in his jet to complain about people who fly around the world for no reason.

If he won’t, then this is all just talk. Gandhi and King certainly never sat around with a bunch of world leaders in a big, fancy hotel and urged others to do that which they were not prepared to do any time or anyplace, over and over again, until the cause was won." http://climateprogress.org/2008/09/25/gore-calls-for-civil-disobedience-to-stop-coal-but-will-he-lead-like-gandhi-and-king/ Joe Romm calls Gore out as hypocritical:

Algore?!! The guy who produced "Inconvenient Truth"? The guy who has increased his net worth by over 100 million bucks pushing the lies he told in his movie is now concerned with securities fraud? Whoa. Chutzpah to the nth power. I think there may very well be some securities fraud litigation some day for false statements made in the course of raising capital to fund corporations. And Mr. Gore will likely find himself thoroughly enmeshed. Algore calling out people for lying about global warming? Algore?!! The guy who produced “Inconvenient Truth”?

I guess Steven Spielberg can start working on a sequel to the movie Minority report. A movie where people were convicted before the crime was actually happened. On a more serious note isn't there laws against incitation to violence? Well I guess that this was to be expected.
