Moving Beyond Kyoto - Al Gore

Al Gore wrote a wonderful opinion piece in the New York Times calling for some action, before it is too late.

...many scientists are now warning that we are moving closer to several “tipping points” that could — within 10 years — make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable damage to the planet’s habitability for human civilization...

Next weekend, on Saturday July 7th, 2007, Gore is hosting the Live Earth Concert to raise awareness about the Climate Crisis.

In the words of Buckminster Fuller, “If the success or failure of this planet, and of human beings, depended on how I am and what I do, how would I be? What would I do?”
