Al Gore

There is life after politics. Seeing Al Gore on "The Daily Show" recently I was somewhat awed by seeing a former politician showing concern for the environment. Not mock concern, but actually being pro-active in educating people to the real concerns ahead due to the impact of global warming. Having been on the lecture circuit for many years now, Gore had recently lectured in Los Angeles and was approached by movie execs about the concept of turning his book and lecture series into a documentary. A deal was consummated culminating in the film "An Inconvenient Truth". It is about relaying the real scientific truth about global warming which is shared by an overwhelmingly number of people in the science community. It examines scenarios likely to take place to our world if action is not taken to help remedy the situation we now find ourselves. I am hopeful that this will help further spur on an aggressive movement to educate the masses to enact changes in the worlds approach to using fossil fuels.
