More about global warming

Hear Al Gore speak at New York University of Law. No fancy graphs or charts this time... just a podium, and inspiring words. An hour and 23 minutes, including Woolsey's introduction. Alternately, you may read a transcription of his speech.

In this one, he concentrates on solutions to the problem--and explains how they need not bankrupt us. In fact, they can free us from towering debt, and give us new sources of revenue to exploit. As a bonus, they can shift the world's balance of power by reducing our dependency on foreign oil, and with it, our vulnerability to terrorist attacks. It's a win-win situation.

This is not a political issue. This is a moral issue. It affects the survival of human civilization. It is not a question of left vs. right; it is a question of right vs. wrong. Put simply, it is wrong to destroy the habitability of our planet and ruin the prospects of every generation that follows ours. --Al Gore

What a guy.
