To be “fair and balanced”, I need to start blogging about some Republicans. For here’s another Democrat: former Veep
Al Gore, who spoke at
TED,
linked from Loïc Le Meur’s blog. His Podcast highlights some of the
environmental problems we face—and that we can
change the world.
An earlier version, delivered in 2004, is at
AlGore.org. I wouldn’t criticize the Hon Mr Gore for doing bits by way of a rerun: the issue remains more pressing now than in 2004; and it shows how little progress we’ve made in two years. And there’s more than enough new material in the speech that should make all of us very worried about how the world’s
climate has become less stable in the last two years, and why lakes, glaciers and parts of the
Arctic ice cap have disappeared.
