Former Vice President Al Gore has written a short article for The Huffington Post regarding the Copenhagen Climate Conference and the need for action to shift to a green economy. Here’s a brief highlight:
“As long as we continue to depend on dirty fossil fuels like coal and oil to meet our energy needs, and dump 90 million tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere, we move closer and closer to several dangerous tipping points—points which scientists have repeatedly warned would, if crossed, threaten to make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable destruction of the conditions that make human civilization possible on this planet.”
Gore met briefly with Barack Obama in the Oval Office this afternoon, presumably to discuss the President’s upcoming trip to Copenhagen next week. To read his full post, jump here.
