Al Gore: Climate Change
Look! Evidence some Americans worry about stuff other than the fact Barak Obama can't bowl straight!
Al Gore is probably the highest profile adovate of Climate Change action, so his newest presentation on the matter is well worth a look. I'm not sure many people here in Europe still need convincing that climate change is a human-induced problem, but plenty still need convincing that it's something we need to do something about in a hurry, and that it's something they personally need to do something about. It's something we must all take individual responsability for. Not just with the lightbulbs and the walking rather than driving stuff, although we do need to do that, we also need change the perception of politicians. The sort of policies that are required at a national and global level are largely seen as unpopular, or at the very least not "vote winners". We, as a society, need to make the environment and thus the future survival of our planet and race, an issue politicians can "run on".
