At the recent 2008 TED talks, environmental campaigner Al Gore gave a 20 minute update to his powerpoint presentation “An Inconvenient Truth” and answered questions on his view of the treatment of the environment in the current US election.
The talk refuted the argument that climate change is not related to activity by presenting relevant data, and made some strong points, including
- The ice in the Arctic is predicted to completely melt in the summer within 5 years
- The US is now the only country that has not ratified the Kyoto agreement
- Just as there are three kinds of military engagement – local, regional and global – there are three kinds of environmental problems (local, regional and global) – and Global Warming is a global issue and needs to be dealt with that way
- We have the technology and capability to deal with this issue – we just need to step up and take action
