What interests me most about Al Gore‘s new “we” campaign, is the movement it aims to create with citizens. Finally, there is a place from where to channel global actions from the bottom up. The site taps into the power of petitioning the powers in charge, similar to what the Swiss did a few months ago
There are currently four main initiatives that citizens can participate in:
Sign the petition for a global treaty on climate change
Tell your friends about our latest video
Urge the Press to Ask About Global Warming
Ask lenders to consider climate impact when funding new coal plants
I urge you to become a part of the “we” movement. If you are a blogger, maybe you can write a post about it, or copy this one? If you are a reader of blogs, maybe you can click on one of the four links above and do your share as a citizen? No matter what, this is too good of an initiative to be ignored.
May the “we” movement spread and ignite the people at the top!

Great post. I agree. And I’ve joined “we” and had ten messages sent to relatives and a few friends.
I’ll end this AM with a great quote:
“It is the worst misfortune of all when by false reasoning we come to accept the perverse notion that things have to be as they are.”
– Petrarch
The truth is that there has so far been no recorded global warming at all this century.
The world’s temperature rose about half a degree centigrade during the last quarter of the 20th century; but even the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research – part of Britain’s Met Office and a citadel of the current global warming orthodoxy – has now conceded that recorded temperature figures for the first seven years of the 21st century reveal there has been a standstill.
