As part of ASU's "Pass The Passion" Month (I like the sound of that ;) ) Al Gore gave his slideshow presentation of An Inconvenient Truth to the students at Arizona State University in Tempe yesterday with a warm audience giving him a standing ovation upon entering Gammage Auditorium. From all reports I read the student government group that helped sponsor this event was very pleased that Mr. Gore was bringing the issue of climate change and the environment to the younger generation.

A question/answer session was held with pre- screened questions that only addressed the issue of climate change. No political questions were asked and the media was not spoken to or allowed in, and there was also no interacting outside after the event was over. Try to guess why.

I do not bellieve it is because Mr. Gore is hiding some secret clandestine plan to run for president. I think he may actually be getting tired of having that shouted at him everywhere he goes and for once would like to hear people shouting their solutions for this crisis at him. I recently watched an interview he gave on the Swedish Tv show Stina on his birthday, and you could tell from his responses that he is disappointed with the true lack of urgency that we have yet to see in this country regarding this crisis. And I for one agree with him.

People spend so much time asking and prodding him to run that precious time is being lost on actually joining forces to work on solutions to this crisis now. If you have seen recent pictures of Antarctica and other areas of the world where glaciers are melting at a much more accelerated rate than previously predicted, you understand from where Mr. Gore is coming from.

The younger generation needs to see this presentation based on its merits and truth, and it needs to inspire them to become responsible citizens not just regarding the environment and solving this crisis but in continuing the Democratic dialogue in this country that makes them leaders rather than asking to be led, especially when we already have the greatest of environmental leaders in Al Gore.

This crisis is not going to go away or be solved at all by just asking Al Gore to run for a presidency that no longer has the respect it once had with the toxic system we have now that will continue to spend more time debating it than solving it. It is only going to be accomplished by all of us young and old of all backgrounds and political /religious persuasions seeing beyond politics now to the moral imperative that will lead to change on all levels.

I believe that is the main point of Mr. Gore's presentations, and I applaud him for his dedication and perseverence regarding getting this truth out, especially to our younger generation that will feel the brunt of our mistakes and indifference to our planet.

1. Al Gore Calls For Immediate Action To Slow Climate Change

Former US Vice President Al Gore has called on governments, corporations and people to act immediately in order to slow climate change. Global warming is fact, just as gravity is fact. The question now is what course of action to take. Al Gore spoke for an hour in Stockholm on Friday afternoon. Space inside Cultural House, where he spoke, was limited, but a large number of people gathered outside in Sergel Square, the center of Stockholm, to watch Al Gore talk with Margot Wallstr?m, the Swedish representative at the EU Commission.

"It is like when a doctor tells you that you have a 90 percent chance of having a heart attack. Will you wait until you have that heart attack to do something?" asked Al Gore. Al Gore said that currently some political leaders still doubt the facts on climate change.

He also accused some multinational corporations of supporting a small number of scientists who say that it is not certain whether climate change is due to human activity. Al Gore said that he was disappointed with the Bush administration's decision on the Kyoto Protocol, but added that many states, such as California, have already acted to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions.

Al Gore assured the audience that he had no intention of running for President but would support the masses. He praised new technology which is currently being used in Portugal to produce solar energy and bio-fuels. Mr. Gore believes that the world can change for the better if everybody makes an effort.
