Oakland, CA (AHN)In a message to corporate executives and environmentally minded investors, Al Gore used multimedia images of an overheating planet to urge Americans to reclaim their "moral authority" by tackling global warming.
Gore told the enthusiastic crowd, "This is really not a political issue, it is disguised as a political issue It is a moral issue, it is an ethical issue If we allow this to happen, we will destroy the habitability of the planet. We can't do that, and I am confident we won't do that."
As a U.S. senator, Gore pushed the global warming issue 15 years ago in Washington, but was forced to rely almost entirely on scientists' best guesses and computer models.
Now bolstered by real climate changes, he has taken his campaign even further, using video images of collapsing ice shelves, then-and-now shots of vanishing glaciers and lakes, telegenic photos of dwindling wildlife species plus floods, tornadoes and, of course, hurricanes.
Gore argues that many of the answersincreased energy efficiency, conservation, expanded use of alternative fuelsare already at our disposal.
