You cannot go even one day without reading or hearing a news report related to our changing climate. The reason for this is that the ripples we have set in motion are building more rapidly than most imagined possible.
There were those who saw this day coming and tried to warn us, but most of us just figured the problem would get solved somehow. Well here we are and though there are positive movements in the works such as the Paris Climate Agreement, there are those in power who are seeking a political and or economic benefit to withdrawing the support of the United States of America in a global solution.
But we are fortunate to have Al Gore, who has been attempting to get our attention to the power of this building crisis at least since 2006, with the publishing of his first book: An Inconvenient Truth
Read on to learn more about the history of this movement and how you can now get involved and involve others in real and lasting change.
I recall reading "An Inconvenient Truth" Vice President Gore's first book on the climate crisis, when it came out in 2006.
For many, this may have been their first awareness of a mandate for environmental action But, many other prominent voices over the last two-hundred years have attempted to capture our attention to the inevitability of crisis we now face.
Notable among those were James Lovelock and his powerful series of Gaia books, "Gaia" being the ancient Greek word for Earth.
Long before that, the unlikely activist Rachel Carson shook the world into a renaissance of transcendental fervor with her brilliant work "Silent Spring".
Her thorough research and compelling message began a movement so strong, it resulted in the enactment of The Endangered Species Act, of 1973. Signed into law by a Republican, President Nixon.
I am proud to say that I have witnessed these courageous acts during my lifetime and in my own way, woven each leader's message into the fabric of my own life.
But never has a leader in the Environmental Movement taken on such a challenge as Mr. Gore.
Recruiting concerned citizens from all over the globe to be ambassadors advocating for our Planet's future, which of course is Humanity's future.
I am delighted to have an opportunity to join one of my heros in the field of science to truly bring this juggernaut of climate change to a halt.
There has never been a time more critical than now, but it will take the actions of every soul to reverse what has been indisputably created by our own hand.
The Earth and Humanity need a Health Plan, a new, powerful campaign for true and lasting change and a leader to take us there.
The time is now, the leader is the Nobel Laureate Al Gore and the vehicle is the Climate Reality Leadership Corps. Sign up today. Win the right to brag to your grandchildren that you were a change-maker, when it counted. The future is truly in our hands.
Get on board and join us. We need you today.
