Al Gore gave a well received speech to the Technology, Entertainment & Design (TED) conference on Saturday. He continued his push for global solutions for global problems, but one particular item caught my eye.
- Of the thousands of questions the major networks (figures given for NBC, ABC, CBX, FOX & CNN) asked the U.S. Presidential candidates, only 6 questions concerned global warming. What does this say about the priorities of political reporting in this political year? Maybe Al should be asking questions of the candidates.
Saving the environment and positioning our country to face the realities of climate change is one of America’s most pressing issues, this side of the War in Iraq. We need to hear more from our politicians about their plans to get us there. Keep on rocking Al Gore.
