Thanks to Jo Abbess of the Campaign Against Climate Change for pointing this out. While Gore hits a few duff notes, in his central argument he's bang on the money. The scientific case for action is urgent. The sooner the West decarbonises its economy the better, for our security and for our fragile economies - balanced precipitously as they are on an unsustainable source of energy. And a single thread runs through and connects these fundamental crises. This is a global problem, and requires a global solution - but it is precisely by taking a strident lead, as Gore points out, that the West can create the conditions in which others will be willing to join us. Compelling stuff.
