As it becomes more and more clear over the years that Al Gore does a much better service to the world around us out of office than he ever would have as President, on Wednesday he is set to launch a three-year, $300 million dollar climate change campaign which is gearing up to be one of the most expensive and ambitious public advocacy campaigns in American history.
“This climate crisis is so interwoven with habits and patterns that are so entrenched, the elected officials in both parties are going to be timid about enacting the bold changes that are needed until there is a change in the public’s sense of urgency in addressing this crisis,” Gore said. “I’ve tried everything else I know to try. The way to solve this crisis is to change the way the public thinks about it.”

He’s certainly right about the timid part. People are flipping out over a proposed 3 cent tax on plastic bags!
