    Al Gore tackles climate change

    Al Gore, Nobel Laureate and former Vice President of the United States, has a new climate project which set sail this week.

    This week it hosted the 24 Hours of Reality where from New York in USA, New Delhi in India, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil to Húsavík Iceland, a movie about climate change was shown, with experts talking with civilians in each location, in their own language, explaining the issue.

    “The Climate Reality Project is bringing the facts about the climate crisis into the mainstream and engaging the public in conversation about how to solve it. We help citizens around the world discover the truth and take meaningful steps to bring about change,” Gore says on the projects website.

    Gore famously tackled climate change a few years ago with his project The Inconvenient Truth. He held over 2000 lectures worldwide about the issue and a movie was also produced.
