Al Gore

This section of ECO:nomics is about a chat with past Vice President, Al Gore.

The moment we have all been waiting for, Al Gore and the Moderator take the stage. He seems so calm. Is a man like him suposed to be calm? During his talk, he spoke about the new inconvient truth; how the economy has effected our move torwards limiting carbon emissions. He went on to talk about the plants near the North Polar ice caps. Because these plants, once unfrozen, will send millions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere. The rest of the conversation went along somewhat like that. Once Al Gore left the stage, myself and my partner jogged around side the building by the press room. We caught Mr. Gore right as he was turning the corner. He told us what we were doing was great. He gave me a firm handshake and was on his way. This meeting, however short it was, was one of the most amazing and happiest expiriences of my life. I will cherish that moment and that handshake forever.
