The
Climate Project: Answer the Call 2007
A
live slideshow based upon Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth
The release of the most recent Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report has reinforced the
fact that global warming is real, its impacts can already
be seen, and action needs to be taken now to confront the
climate crisis.
This
presentation reviews the science behind climate change and
explores the impacts of rapidly rising atmospheric greenhouse
gas concentrations. The presentation relates observable climactic
events, like retreating glaciers, heat waves, hurricane activity,
and species loss, to longer-term impacts like sea level rise.
The presentation discusses how human activity is the cause
of climate change and how it will also have to be the solution.

About
The Climate Project
www.theclimateproject.com
The
Climate Project is a movement to educate and engage citizens,
governments about the growing climate crisis. As a non-profit
group, it works to make the public aware of the urgency, impact
and need for action to confront global warming through education,
research and citizen action programs. The Project's first
initiative, sponsored by Participant
Productions, Inc. is the training of 1,000 lecturers who
will deliver the compelling slide presentation developed by
The Hon. Al Gore and as reflected in the book and award-winning
Paramount Films documentary - An Inconvenient Truth.
