Al Gore, former Vice President and current environmental hero, sat down with Katie Couric yesterday for her online program @KatieCouric to discuss all things environmental and green. He even had a few things to say about one of our current favorite topics here at TakePart, the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change. Take a look.
A few things that Gore says in that video are things we’ve been pushing here at this site: that Congress really ought to pass a climate change bill prior to Copenhagen if we want to see the conference be effective, that we have the promising news that China is willing to be a part of an international treaty, and has been making great strides in clean energy technology, but most importantly, that an international treaty is an urgent priority for the whole world.
The whole interview runs about a half hour, and of course is both fascinating and full of important information. Usually I’d just link to it, but what the hell. Let’s put it right here.
That guy’s awesome. He should run for president or something.
