Gore's New Book: Our Choice
Former VP Al Gore will follow An Inconvenient Truth with a book called, Our Choice, that aims to inspire action to solve the climate crisis.
"An Inconvenient Truth reached millions of people with the message that the climate crisis is threatening the future of human civilization and that it must and can be solved," Gore said in a statement released by his office. "Now that the need for urgent action is even clearer with the alarming new findings of the last three years, it is time for a comprehensive global plan that actually solves the climate crisis. Our Choice will answer that call."
An Inconvenient Truth was a New York Times best seller and a related film won the Academy Award®. Since then, Gore has led more than thirty summits with top scientists, engineers and policy experts to examine solutions to the climate crisis, according to his office. Our Choice will draw on conclusions developed through those summits as well as "on extensive independent research, describing how the bold choices necessary to save the earth's climate should also be the foundations of policies worldwide to create new jobs and stimulate sustainable economic progress."
As they did with An Inconvenient Truth, Gore and wife Tipper Gore will donate all proceeds of the book to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a non-profit, non-partisan group dedicated to spreading awareness about the issue. Our Choice will feature 100% recycled paper, locally produced and sourced editions, low VOC inks and will be carbon neutral. It will be published by Rodale in the United States and by other publishers internationally on Nov. 3, 2009.
Al Gore has made a huge difference in the effort to save our environment. I receive emails from his headquarters with updates on his progress on climate control issues.He also had choices, he could have walked away. Thank you Al Gore
