Al Gore’s brand new slide show

In Al Gore’s brand-new slideshow he presents evidence that the pace of climate change may be even worse than scientists were recently predicting, and challenges us to act with a sense of “generational mission”—the kind of feeling that brought forth the civil rights movement—to set it right. Gore’s stirring presentation is followed by a brief Q&A in which he is asked for his verdict on the current political candidates’ climate policies and on what role he himself might play in future.
