Thanks so much for posting this, Charlie. I'm reminded of what one of my favorite bloggers says: "Being optimistic is one of the most radical political acts there is."
Happy Earth Day, everyone.

Don't miss the truth here - science from a working scientist, not from a scientifically illiterate politician.: blip.tv/file/791876
PS: Gore is making millions from this: 1. Generations Mutual fund: Hon. Al Gore is Chairman. see: generationim.com/about/team.html
After "a conversation that's gone on for a year and a half," according to Gore, he has decided to join his old pal John Doerr as an active, hands-on partner at Kleiner Perkins, Silicon Valley's preeminent venture firm. See: money.cnn.com/2007/11/11/news/newsmakers/gore_kleiner.fortune/
Al Gore appears to get $100,000 for speaking. See this for one example (price is on page 5): thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0717071gore1.html
I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is , as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are... Al Gore in Grist, 09 May 2006, grist.org/news/maindish/2006/05/09/roberts/ bold added.
BTW, a British court found a bunch of inaccuracies in Gore’s film (“over-representation of factual presentations”?) See: newparty.co.uk/articles/inaccuracies-gore.html

I feel sorry for Al. He has traveled down a misguided path so far that I'm embarassed for him watching that.
