1000 to spread Gore climate word

FORMER US vice president Al Gore plans to train 1000 messengers he hopes will spread out across the country and present a slide show about global warming that captures the essence of his Hollywood documentary and book.
Mr Gore, a Democrat, said today that by the end of the northern summer he would start a bipartisan education campaign to train the messengers.
They will give a version of his slide show on global warming featured in the film An Inconvenient Truth and book of the same name.
"This moment cannot be allowed to pass," Mr Gore said in New York.
"I have seen and heard times before when the awareness of the climate crisis has peaked and then a few months later it's gone. I think this time is different, but I have to say I'm not certain of that."
The book is an expanded version of the film, An Inconvenient Truth.
Both are based on a slide show he has given more than 1000 times in the past 30 years on the dangers of global warming.
He says climate change is a crisis that has become a moral issue.
Most scientists believe carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat in the atmosphere leading to stronger storms and rising sea levels that could swamp low-lying islands by 2100.
Mr Gore said all the profits from his film and the book would be donated to train the messengers.
He said the carriers of the message would give the slide show at high schools and rotary clubs in the US and around the world.
Mr Gore said today, as he has consistently, that he had no plans to run for president in 2008.
He said he would continue to give the slide show even as the messengers gave their versions.

Call me a cynic, but sounds to me more like preparations for a run in 2008...

I think he's running for Jesus. He has his "good book," and he's sending out disciples to spread his word.
I'd have expected it of hillary...
