Climate Change: Read More
In 2006’s An Inconvenient Truth, Gore offered a dozen simple things you can do to combat global warming. That was then. This is now.
As the climate crisis spirals out of control, more needs to be done. In his Climate Reality Project talk, Gore presented a new list, summarized below, expanding on the previous 12.
Visit http://www.mcweekly.com/climate to view Gore’s talk.
