You can credit me with making up the word "Environgelical." I'm so clever.
So According to this Reuters story, Al Gore is training a thousand people to spread across the land and give the most important Powerpoint presentation in the history of man. Even greater than Moses's fabled Powerpoint presentation on the mount.
Although, Al actually uses Keynote, which is much slicker.
Here's the basics of the idea:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Al Gore hopes to train 1,000 messengers he hopes will spread out across the country and present a slide show about global warming that captures the essence of his Hollywood documentary and book.
The former vice president, a Democrat, said on Monday that by the end of the summer he would start a bipartisan education campaign to train 1,000 people to give a version of his slide show on global warming featured in the film "An Inconvenient Truth" and book of the same name.
"This moment cannot be allowed to pass," Gore told reporters in New York. "I have seen and heard times before when the awareness of the climate crisis has peaked and then a few months later it's gone. I think this time is different, but I have to say I'm not certain of that."
It has recently occurred to me that Gore might just be one of my favorite contemporary figures -- he has genuinely instilled in me a sense of hope that our world's problems can be solved. He's turned me into a believer.
