JessiKa said...: I enjoyed Al Gore’s lecture, it opened my eyes how much we have a duty in saving the planet we live in. Maybe if we all put a part in we could really save this plant for the next generation. “It just takes a chance of behavior to be optimistic”.

Brad said...: Al Gore is a passionate man, but it seems that passion can also be a liability. He sometimes sounds like a preacher, and it didn’t help that the camera kept looking up at him as he paced the stage. With saving the planet as his goal, I can forgive him!—50 words; October 9, 2009 at 3:46 PM
Jatinder said...: Al Gore’s concern that environmental crisis is bigger issue than democracy makes sense. His aim for “low carbon economy” and suggestion of “price on carbon” seems steps in right direction. Finally, his call to rise and put best effort to tackle it for present and futures generations induce some optimism. --50 words; October 10, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Anonymous said...: Believes change has to come from people to help global warming. We can’t depend on governments to make policies in order to force us to help the earth. We have to take simple actions, but continual actions to help the environment such as driving less and consuming less. (50 words); October 11, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Qin said...: Al Gore’s talking is impassioned and comprehensive. Facing the climate crisis, he is optimistic, but we get a scare from his true instances. Global warming will threaten our survival. What can we do? Ratifying the Kyoto Protocol is not enough. “What a burden we have” for an optimistic human future.

Kulvinder said...: I think it was a good lecture. Although every time I hear one of his lectures he sounds like a preacher. He repeatedly says the same things over and over again. We need to save the world, we need to be "greener" all that stuff which we hear about everyday. So what he was telling us was really nothing new or eye opening for me.-60 words.; October 12, 2009 at 4:37 PM
kenny said...: He presented slides showing North Pole icecap are getting smaller and smaller and worried about disappearing after 5 years. Also global warming is still listed near the bottom of priority for president and congress. In those conditions, how he can say optimism and expecting our generation could solve the problem!

Nancy Luo said...: Al Gore’s talking made me exciting. I also have common feeling because Global Warming is not only every country’s responsibility, but also is everybody’s duty. Everybody has important duty to concern Global Warming like everybody’s behavior. What can we do? I hope we would find a way to solve climate change.

Ali said...: Al Gore seems like a smart man so he ought to know that commoners can't make any drastic changes, so why won't he preach people that are in a position to do so? He sure picked a hot topic to talk about, to me; very commercial.; October 12, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Brad said...: Please keep to word count and provide a word count, also. Thanks!; October 13, 2009 at 2:46 PM
Putik said...: He quoted Gandhi "You have to be the change you wish to see in the world." He's a great speaker, but I heard his electric bill once reached $30,000. This planet can survive without us. The slogan should be “Save Humanity” not “Save the Planet.” I agree with him at one thing for sure—G8 should pay.

Rita said...: I was inspired by Al Gore’s three “good news,” which shows individuals’, cities’ and countries’ awareness of environmental issues. The cartoon commercial was impressive; I never thought about the amount of carbon dioxide could convert into elephants’ weight. It’s always good to have a celebrity attract people’s attention to the environment.

Anonymous said...: I found Al Gore’s lecture wasn’t anything new. The things he was saying I’ve seem to have heard before, through the news and at school. At times Gore reminded me of a street preacher, wants to spread the word, has all kinds of money, instills fear but has no real plan.

molly said...: Al Gore’s lecture was well presented; it summarizes the discernible human influence on the global climate. It really ache my heart to know that it will continue to worsen as developing countries push forward in industrial development. Mankind is abusing the earth faster than it understanding it.

Louie said...: I think Al Gore’s lecture was very convincing and comprehensive. Also there were some facts I thought were interesting, such as 6.1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide were released into the sky in 2005 and how it is eqaul to 1.2 billion elephants. I’m little bit concerned about our environment.

Anonymous said...: Unlike in the ancient slavery or the industrial capitalism societies, where people of lower classes had no control over their destinies; today’s generation in less advanced countries have the equal opportunity and power, as those in developed countries, to save the earth and create the future of human civilization. Bravo!

Zarmina said...: Al Gore said, “We have the capacity to do it”. Yes! If we stop exaggerating on spending oil, gas, and for energy purposes, we have the ability to save our earth for now and for the next generation. As well, if the U.S.A concerns more about climate crisis in lieu spending on Iraq war, we’ll have a positive chance.

Jamileh said...: Al Gore’s lecture about climate crisis was fascinating to me. Truly, the world notices war conflicts more than environmental conflicts. Human beings will experience the consequences of global warming more than any other creature on earth. By making simple changes in our life, we can be part of the solution.; October 14, 2009 at 8:33 AM
Eve Yan said...: AI Gore is worried. He had the joke of the old lady who walked to him: “you look just like AI Gore, if you dye your hair black.” He is also courageous that he challenged the politicians and raised the environmental issue to a higher level - government policy.

Maryann said...: Al Gore has given us awareness about the global warming and its gloomy consequences. Now, he challenges us being active citizens in our democracy which has enough capacity to change the climate crisis. I like his new, optimistic approach than his first scary prediction on the crisis with no clear solution. (52words); November 1, 2009 at 9:00 AM
