NEW YORK (Reuters) - Al Gore hopes to train 1,000 messengers he hopes will spread out across the country and present a slide show about global warming that captures the essence of his Hollywood documentary and book.

The former vice president, a Democrat, said on Monday that by the end of the summer he would start a bipartisan education campaign to train 1,000 people to give a version of his slide show on global warming featured in the film "An Inconvenient Truth" and book of the same name.

Gore said all the profits from his film and the book will be donated to train the messengers. He said the carriers of the message will give the slide show at high schools and rotary clubs in the United States and around the world.

4. Holy shit, what a great idea.

Create jobs to save the environment. Goddamn, Al!

I just hope the messengers will use some environmentally-friendly form of transportation while doing their job lest some right wing assholes start throwing the word "hypocracy" around, like they're wont to do when they know they can't attack the message the messenger delivers.
