"We face a planetary emergency. But it's crucial to avoid being paralysed by that knowledge and instead feel empowered by it in order to bring about the changes that are imperative now".

Al Gore's presentation and debate at the Hay Festival in Wales the other night was a breath of fresh air for a seasoned campaigner like me!
Gore argues that global warming is not just about science, nor is it just a political issue; it is a moral issue and we have a responsibility to do something about it now. There is no time to lose as scientists agree that we have about 10 years before our planet reaches the point of no return.He is promoting positive soultions and a massive investment in new technology to tackle the crisis. We need a high-profile figure like Gore right now to raise the environmental agenda as high as we can - he has a lot of influential support both in Europe and the USA so we could see some real action this time.
