This is the Oscars weekend, and one of the nominated films is The Inconvenient Truth It’s now speculated that an Oscar could be his first step towards the White House., former US Vice-President Al Gore’s eye opener on global warming and the climate crisis threatening us all. The dramatically inclined even suggest that he could announce his candidacy on the podium, Oscar in hand.

I think it’s a great idea. Gore would probably be the best candidate in years, if he runs, a candidate with an agenda as important to the resat of the world as for the US. In his words (with diagrams of water flooding Manhattan in the background), is it possible that we should focus on other dangers than just terrorism?
