BACKGROUND:
Former Vice President Al Gore will be reading from his upcoming book "Our Choice." Picking up where "An Inconvenient Truth" left off, Our Choice utilizes Mr. Gore’s forty years of experience as a student, policymaker, author, filmmaker, entrepreneur and activist to comprehensively describe the real solutions to global warming. A co-recipient of the Nobel Peace prize in 2007 for his environmental work, Mr. Gore continues to make sense of the pressing issues we face and Our Choice will rally those ready to fight for solutions that were deemed impossible only a short time ago.
The former Vice President and environmental leader has conducted "Solutions Summits" with top scientists, engineers and policy experts to search for ways of dealing with the climate change crisis. "Our Choice" draws on conclusions developed through those summits as well as on extensive research, describing how the choices necessary to save the Earth can be the foundations of policies to create new jobs and stimulate sustainable economic progress.
