Al Gore is sounding the alarm. He says we've reached a point where the very survival of our civilization is at risk. But he's optimistic that we can turn things around if we make the changes necessary both as a society and as individuals.

The societal change he's proposing is nothing less then a "Occupy Democracy Movement" as our democracy has been hacked by money representing special interests.

He talks about serious political reform and a web-driven social movement. He thinks the only open communication reformers can utilize to organize is the web.

Al Gore gets it. Both environmentally and politically. I must say, even as someone who delves into the climate news daily; it's unnerving to hear Gore talk about end times in only 100 years.
