Gore is great again

New thinking on climate change: Al Gore’s new slideshow premieres on TED.com:

[Via TED | TEDBlog]

This is an amazing video. The first presentation of Gore’s new speech. As opposed to An Inconvenient truth, which dealt with the science, this one examines what we can do about climate change.

Entitled ‘How dare we be optimistic?’ it is a call to arms in a very inspirational fashion. Watch the video, then decide what you are going to do about it. Because this IS something we can fix.

In Al Gore’s brand-new slideshow (premiering exclusively on TED.com), he presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of “generational mission” — the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement — to set it right. Gore’s stirring presentation is followed by a Q&A in which he is asked for his verdict on the current political candidates’ climate policies and on what role he himself might play in future. (Recorded March 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 27:54.)
