http://www.hindu.com/2007/10/31/stories/2007103162181200.htmThis is inspirational and a tribute to Al Gore's work that seems to get much more mention in Europe and other countries than it does here, which I find sad. He is inspiring people all over the world to take up the mantle and now do what he is doing to spread the message of the urgency of climate change. And in India and other parts of Asia, and South America, and in Africa, it is much needed now. This is what I believe more people in our own country should be doing in order to become inspired and follow his lead. This is how you start a real grassroots movement worldwide to address this crisis. Thank you Al Gore, for inspiring the world. This is what a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate does, and you fill those shoes very well. It is the next generation that will bear the brunt of our apathy, and to see them engaged like this worldwide is truly fantastic.
Al Gore is also scheduled to go to India next month:

Al Gore to make Indians aware of climate change Seema Guha Monday, September 24, 2007 05:22 IST NEW DELHI:
Ex-US vice-president Al Gore will be in India in the first week of December to conduct a two-day training programme on climate change. His aim: To educate young Indians on environment and the dangers of global warming. Al Gore hopes these youngsters will sensitise people about the dangers of climate change. He wants the youth to carry his message to dusty towns and villages of India and make corporates aware of their responsibilities. Al Gore Foundation has tied up with The Energy Research Institute (Teri) for the programme. Teri executive director RK Pachauri is in New York to tie up the details. “The dates have not been finalised, though it will be in the first week of December,” he said.
