Training in Nashville

I spent the last 3 days training 150 people from all over the United States - and from Canada, the United Kingdom, Senegal, Germany, and Cameroon - to give my slideshow. It was an incredible and inspiring experience for me, because these men and women are so committed and so passionate and are now launching a new wave of slideshows in the communities and states and nations where they live.

This group brought the total number I have trained at sessions here in Nashville to over 1,000. If you are interested in reading about the trainings there have been some great articles in Time Magazine, The Sun Journal, and the Tennessean.

These trainees come from every conceivable background. Businesspeople, educators, environmental activists, farmers, clergy, scientists, students, homemakers, grandparents and retirees, musicians, actors, and a professional football player - Dhani Jones - starting linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Incidentally, I have previously trained 85 people in Australia, who are doing a really amazing job crisscrossing that nation (Don Henry, the head of the Australian Conservation Foundation attended this week's session as an observer. I will hold a second training in Australia this fall - which of course is Spring down under), and 200 people in the United Kingdom last month. Speaking of athletes, that group included the world famous coach of the Manchester United football (soccer) club, Sir Alec Ferguson.

Future training sessions are now in development for China, India, Africa, and South America.

I have found that many people will watch and listen when their neighbors give the slideshow and engage in a meaningful discussion about how we can solve this climate crisis. The trainees thus far have already given my slideshow more times collectively in the last six months - 3,000 - than I have been able to give it in 20 years.

This to me is incredible. This will reach Africa which to me is where this information must be shared. Again, THANK YOU Mr. Gore for doing this. And as the link in my signature tells, we can all be climate messengers and help in this cause.

2. Well, you really had me going

I expected to read that Al Gore was was pumping iron and doing forty miles of roadwork per week, whipping himself into shape for a run at the WhiteHouse. Dayum.

3. So sorry to disappoint you.

I know that kind of rhetoric is really the only thing regarding him that goes anywhere here, but I figured some would appreciate the work is actually doing for this world now.

4. That's what I was picturing too when I read the subject.

;) I pictured him hittin' the heavy bag getting ready for the big fight.

6. the climate crisis IS the big fight n/t

14. You were thinking so he'd look "Buff" to Blitzer and the rest of Whore Media?

Yeah..I know...wasn't the "word/buzz" on DU that some Pundit said in gossip that Al was running because someone said he was on a diet.

Yeah...like Newtie or Cheney or many in the AIE or AIPAC a little on the "hefty side" who could use a Hamster Wheel?

UGH...

15. TIPPER Gore had Imus Pegged long before he blew up on his bloviating

latest Racist, Anti-Female Hate Binge.

Both Tipper and Al were Cassandra's. AHEAD OF THEIR TIME! TELLING TRUTH before their time and trashed for pointing the finger in the direction of where we needed to go after we'd soiled our nests.

5. I could not make the training in TN

I've been searching for info regarding the past training in TN (i.e. how many ppl applied, how many attended, etc) and when and where the next ones will be. I've looked at the link you provided and many other places.. do you have any info or suggestions? tia

7. Have you tried here?

http://www.theclimateproject.org/

I heard there were close to 5000 people who originally applied and I too was one of them. I wasn't selcted because of the volume, but in retrospect I can now see that I probably would have had a hard time making it then due to financial constraints. That's why I am doing it the best I can on my own, and also hoping that if it is revived I can try again later this year. I don't know of any other site with information about this. I hope this helps.

9. kicking for dessemination and education

Which is the only way we will have definitive action.

11. Run Al Run

The planet needs you.

[RestoreGore]

12. The planet has him

So sad so many don't see that. But it is very revealing here to see that people on the whole here don't really care about what he is now doing. This truly then is a forum just for empty political rhetoric over substance when it comes to spreading the truth about this crisis.

13. I showed my students An Inconvenient Truth

last Thursday. We'll have another showing this week. I still want him to run for President.
