Learning from Al Gore (again)
Al Gore has been on script for a long time. Not only did his “Information Superhighway” become teh internet as we know it today but his “Inconvenient Truth” was a pivotal moment in the global conversation about climate change.
In this TED talk he gets “hot and bothered” as he focusses his attention on the barriers to the worlds response to climate change:
The sustainability revolution has effectively succeeded and now the process of governance, of changing the way we do things, is underway. Overcoming the obstacles to action is his theme but underlying this theme it is that the inconvenient truth of climate change is now a self evident reality that the whole world is responding to.
The positive view is as important as the negative and (again) Al Gore articulates this superbly.
