"We"

The Deseret Morning News had an article yesterday about a new three-year, climate protection campaign formed to educate individuals on the dangers of greenhouse gases and climate change. The Alliance for Climate Change's campaign, called "We", is headed by Al Gore (who admirably donated his proceeds from the book and film "An Inconvenient Truth", his portion of the Nobel Peace Prize money and a personal donation to match towards the cause).

The Deseret News article shined a positive light on the alliance. The campaign already shows strong bipartisanship support. The head of the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Thomas, was quoted in the article as saying, "This is not only an environmental issue. It's an issue of energy independence and it's an issue of national security. We need to all come together on this and the time to move on it is now, not later."

I truly believe that a campaign like this could make a huge difference in our current environmental downward spiral. The alliance's advertising campaign will compare the climate protection movement to other great movements in American history (such as the human rights movement). We are the ones who are going to make the difference; the campaign will get the issue heard by government and the Big Oil leaders.

Below is a clip from 60 minutes. Al Gore went on the program to talk about the environmental campaign. I truly have a new found respect for this man and feel that he is in the fight against climate change for the right reasons (it should be obvious now that his involvement in educating the public on this issue isn't to turn a profit).
