"I think we ought to eliminate the payroll tax and replace it with a carbon dioxide tax. "

When the United Nations convenes a crucial meeting to discuss the future of the Kyoto protocol in Bali next month, Al Gore will make the keynote speech urging ministers to forge agreement on a successor.

Proponents of a new agreement hope his visit will be more successful than that of Bill Clinton at a similar meeting two years ago, which did not produce a breakthrough.

Mr Gore will come fresh from his acceptance of the Nobel Peace Prize at a ceremony in Oslo a few days before. Mr Gore earns up to �50,000 ($100,000, �70,000) a time for speaking engagements and by his own estimate, he makes "about a dozen speeches a week".
