Al Gore's Challenge to the Nation - July 17, 2008
On July 17, 2008 at D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Washington D.C., Former Vice President Al Gore gave a speech in which he called for a "man on the moon" approach to the solving the problem of global warming. He challenged the nation to take bold steps towards solving the climate crisis.In this historic speech he encouraged the United States switch all of the nation's electricity production to wind, solar and other carbon-free sources within 10 years.
This goal would not only help solve global warming but also the economic and natural security crises caused by dependence on fossil fuels.
According to Gore "The leading experts predict that we have less than 10 years to make dramatic changes in our global warming pollution lest we lose our ability to ever recover from this environmental crisis."

Listen to Our Children
You look at that river gently flowing by. You notice the leaves rustling with the wind. You hear the birds; you hear the tree frogs. In the distance you hear a cow.You feel the grass. The mud gives a little bit on the river bank. It's quiet; it's peaceful.
And all of a sudden, it's a gear shift inside you. And it's like taking a deep breath and going,
"Oh yeah, I forgot about this."
He goes on to note that:
Future generations may well have occasion to ask themselves,
- "What were our parents thinking? Why didn't they wake up when they had a chance?"
One way to respond is to join We Can Solve It.

I believe in being a good steward of the Earth, but too many people are bought into man made global warming. Governments love it because they can institute new environmental taxes (already happening) and control the gullible believers in this new Religion.
