Just noticed this on Joe's blog from last month:

Al Gore tweets and blogs “Straight Up”
April 20, 2010

Here is something you twitterers out there can retweet, from twitter.com/algore:

The Nobel prize-winner has posted a longer recommendation on his website:

An Important New Book

Joe Romm is one of the most important and influential voices fighting for an end to the climate crisis. His blog, Climate Progress, is a must read.

Romm just published an important new book, titled Straight Up: America’s Fiercest Climate Blogger Takes on the Status Quo Media, Politicians, and Clean Energy Solutions. In the book, Romm “cuts through the misinformation and presents the truth about humanity’s most dire threat. His analysis is based on sophisticated knowledge of renewable technologies, climate impacts, and government policy, written in a style everyone can understand.”

If you are interested in the fight to solve the climate crisis, I recommend you read this book.

Gore is an uber-busy uber-communicator, so this means a lot to me personally. His recommendation helped drop Straight Up below 1,000 on Amazon this morning , which is the first time that’s happened for any of my books.
