I am guessing that this has been posted already, but in case you missed it - as I did - it is worth the time to watch. And I want to be a very well-informed celebrant on Friday morning, when Al wins the Nobel.

After it loads, fast forward to 35:42 minutes in to see the start of Al's speech -- you'll miss two undistinguished introductions and a whole lot of time in which no one speaks and the waiters walk back and forth.

I am just beginning to watch - I really, really like the way he is weaving in the fact that this crisis presents the opportunity to attain "the level of moral authority and seriousness of purpose" to address other crises like AIDS, other pandemics, poverty, and hunger...



I say to you, the time is NOW to act decisively. We must solve the climate crisis.

What scientists reported about the polar ice caps should be seen as an alarm bell everywhere on this planet. They report, shockingly, that the entire north polar ice cap could be completely and totally gone in less than 23 years... IF IT GOES DURING OUR WATCH IT WILL NOT COME BACK FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS...

A 6-meter increase in water levels worldwide would lead to 450 million climate refuges
