Video: Al Gore's Global Warming Speech at NYU

by Michael Graham Richard, Gatineau, Canada on 09.26.06
Culture & Celebrity (audio video)

gore-nyu-ke-01.jpgLast week we wrote about Al Gore's "bold strategy for fighting climate change": Some policy proposals including 1) an immediate freeze on our current level of carbon emissions, 2) the creation of a "Carbon Neutral Mortgage Association" and 3) a revenue-neutral carbon tax created by the elimination of payroll taxes (for more details, head over to our post). But we only linked to the transcript of the speech, which is very long. Thanks to reader Many Sharma who sent us the link, you can now see the video of the whole speech: ::Video: Al Gore speech about Global Warming at NYU (Real Video format, there's a free codec for it here)

AG is one of those.
