I don't know if this appears to be a bad science-fiction movie, or a demented multi-level marketing scheme, but Al Gore is looking for 1,000 Al Gores. Well, really he's looking for 1,000 messengers to spread the word about global warming.
Gore has a new movie and book, An Inconvenient Truth out.
By the way, how many people, even semi-literate ones, haven't at least heard about the concept of global warming?
From Reuters:
The former vice president, a Democrat, said on Monday that by the end of the summer he would start a bipartisan education campaign to train 1,000 people to give a version of his slide show on global warming featured in the film "An Inconvenient Truth" and book of the same name.
"This moment cannot be allowed to pass," Gore told reporters in New York. "I have seen and heard times before when the awareness of the climate crisis has peaked and then a few months later it's gone. I think this time is different, but I have to say I'm not certain of that."
The book is an expanded version of the film. Both are based on a slide show he has given more than 1,000 times over the past 30 years on the dangers of global warming. He says climate change is a crisis that has become a moral issue.
One thing comes to mind when I hear "Al Gore" and "slide show."
Sleep.
Oh, not everyone agrees about human-induced global warming of the planet. Joe Six Pack puts some chill on Al Gore's beliefs in his Geosciblog.
