| Gore Launches Climate Reality Project | 20 August 11 |
"The climate crisis is a reality, and we are seeing its impacts in extreme weather all around the world. Using the same deceitful playbook as big tobacco used years before to mislead the public about the dangers of smoking, oil and coal companies and their allies are now deceiving the public about climate change. They have nearly unlimited resources to sow doubt, but we have one critical advantage: Reality is on our side," said Gore.The 24 hour Climate Reality event will focus the world on the climate crisis via live online broadcast September 14-15. 24 Presenters in 24 time zones in 13 languages will be providing a multimedia presentation, created by Al Gore, which will connect the dots between recent extreme weather events – including floods, droughts and storms. 350.org is preparing for September 24 events around the world by launching Moving Planet. Their aim is to have events – a worldwide rally – in support of The Reality Project's message for urgent action on climate change. The partnership between Moving Planet and the Reality Project will multiply participation. "The climate crisis knows no political boundaries. Ferocious storms and deadly heat waves are occurring with alarming frequency all over the world. We are living with the reality of the climate crisis every day. The only question is, how soon can we act?" stated Al Gore.
