Al Gore: Alarming new slides depict a worsening climate crisis

At TED2009, Al Gore presents updated slides from around the globe to make the case that worrying climate trends are even worse than scientists predicted, and to make clear his stance on "clean coal." Unlike some in public office, Al Gore always intended to get something done, and since leaving Washington, DC -- following the tumultuous 2000 election -- he's still at it. In fact, his campaign for alerting the world to the dangers of climate change has only gained momentum. His Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth is the third most successful documentary ever released at the box office. Gore's famed PowerPoint presentation has drawn in a reluctant public, with its meticulously researched content and lucid style. Meanwhile, Gore himself has found his footing as a communicator. The once "wooden" style has given way to a warmth and humor that reveal the depth of his experience as a soldier, congressman, senator, veep, TV executive, teacher and author. Arguably, Gore is better positioned today than he has ever been to affect the future of our environment and world. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2007, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." "The only vice president ever to mock his stiff image by [imitating] a wax-museum figure, Gore turns out to be the best professor you never had -- easygoing, knowledgeable and funny."

Al Gore is now worth 10 million dollars and is poised to make billions if this "Tax the Pollution" BS passes, WAKE THE FUCK UP MORON.

Keep drinking the Kool-Aid moron, do you have any idea how much pollution a volcano releases? Now imagine that's been going on for 4 billion years while we have been here for 300 thousand, you don't know how arrogant you are, that's the sad part, arrogant and very gullible.

Global warming was 28th on a list of what Americans are worried about, the veil is dropping, we aren't falling for the BS any longer, sheep.

You want a world where only the rich can afford to pollute don't you? Are you really this stupid?

stu10000: Ignorance is bliss. The world is cooling down due to the effect of global darkening. Scientists discovered that light emission has reduced and due to this we cannot accurately predict how fast global warming is proceeding. You're way outdated on the subject, bro
