Al Gore – A Literary Arts and Powell’s Books Presentation

For those of you that might have missed it, Al Gore spoke at the Portland Keller Auditorium last Wednesday. Gore spoke on his new book, Our Choice, and the ongoing fight against climate change and global warming.

The former Vice-President and Nobel Prize winner has dedicated himself to this cause over the past few years, beginning with his Oscar-winning film An Inconvenient Truth. His message that climate change threatens our world and current civilizations has motivated millions of people all over the world to act and put the issue of climate change and global warming into the mainstream.

The current green movement, fight for the environment, and our future as a world civilization rests in the decisions we make. Mr. Gore has helped open up this dialogue and has held over 30 “Solution Summits” with top scientists, engineers, and policy experts to try and find ways to combat climate change.

Before the event Gore spent an hour speaking to Emily Harris and Dave Miller on OPB’s Think Out Loud. You can listen to the taping of the live show online here.
