Al Gore's newest presentation: Even more powerful


Check out the post and video at ecogeek.org

What makes Gore's new presentation filled with awesomeness:

  • It's not about changing a bulb, it's about changing laws
  • He likens investment in the tar-sands to heroine junkies shooting up in their toes
  • Great new images that will shock and educate you (e.g. did you know that the polar ice cap was onces roughly the size of the USA?)
  • He calls for citizen action and the use of democracy
  • He highlights the divide between the "haves" and the "have nots"
  • He calls for a cultural awakening to the climate issues - a move from a "culture of distraction"
It's worth taking the time to watch this video. It's a recording of the first time Gore has given his new speech in public and it's powerful and moving.
