While researching the speech after-the-fact to write up my <a href="http://www.greenermiami.com/greenermiami/2007/07/httparticlenati.html" rel="nofollow">post</a>, I was disappointed to see that almost the exact same speech two years earlier. I can only imagine what it would be like to give a speech every single day...tough to come up with new material. However, I think audiences deserve it! Especially with Gore, who is speaking to an audience who has probably seen An Inconvenient Truth at least 2 times each!

I think there was an article recently about the audience being bored at his last UK appearance - despite shelling out big bucks. Time for Al to go back to the drawing board (power point)? That is the trouble with this issue (CC), you spend years convincing people that it exists. Then they finally "get it", and say "OK, now what do we do about it?" He'd better have a better answer than "well, I'll keep giving the same speech, and then go work for a multi-million dollar VC fund... oh, and buy CFL bulbs." Sorry for being so negative. I just feel like Al is teh supposed "leader" on this issue. There is so much that needs to be changed to have an effect on climate change, I feel like he needs to start doling out the tough news on how to get serious about it (beyond CFL's, etc.) I’ve heard that his “speech” is a rehashing of the facts that he gave in the movie.
