Now hear this! The man that brought us 'An Inconvient Truth', fantastic work on climate change that has given him a Nobel Peace prize nomination and countless acts of goodwill is working on his next big project.
After the success of Live 8 for debt relief in Africa, Al Gore is putting to gether a Live 8 concert in July to raise money to fight global warming. The man is simply incredible. Putting politics and possible Presidental aspirations aside, the man is on a higher mission, to save the world from itself.
From the ABCNews:
Recently nominated for a Nobel Prize and waiting to walk the red carpet at the Academy Awards, former Vice President Al Gore will unveil his next big endeavor today from Los Angeles: a single-day series of concerts to put the issue of climate change before a global audience.
Modeled after 2005's Live 8 concerts highlighting African debt relief, the event is scheduled for July 7 with seven concerts on seven continents.
The man is incredible, he just can not be stopped. The concert stages will be huge and filled with big names. He is planning on announcing the effort in Los Angeles along with Sting, Bon Jovi and Pharell Williams. Now if only he would pick up the torch and run for office afterwards....we will just have to wait and see on that I guess.
