Excerpt of Gore Congressional Testimony

-- Mike -- 03/21/2007

"The climate crisis is, by its nature, a global problem - and ultimately the solution must be global as well.

As the world's largest economy and greatest superpower, we are uniquely situated to tackle a problem of this magnitude.

"After all, we have taken on problems of this scope before. When England and then America and our allies rose to meet the threat of global Fascism, together we won two wars simultaneously in Europe and the Pacific.

"This is a moral moment of similar magnitude. This is not ultimately about any scientific discussion or political dialogue. It is about who we are as human beings and our capacity to transcend our limitations and rise to meet this challenge."

I attended the meeting this morning, and provided my own comments to the Council, asking that they choose bold recommendations for action. Read More
