What do you do after the Nobel Prize? Al Gore is still preaching the word with a new slide show on TED, one of our favorite sites.
His first slide show won an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize. Now, Al Gore is rolling out a second. This one encourages a generational mission to stabilize the planet. And how? Through politics, of course.
“The political will has to be mobilized in order to mobilize the resources,” Gore says.
Who hasn’t signed the Kyoto treaty? Us. Who has? Everybody else. Why? Gore argues that Americans haven’t demanded it from the government. If we are to fix our environmental problems as part of a global initiative, he says, that has to change.

Then again, when are sequels ever as good as the original?
