Nobel Ceremony and Acceptance Speeches

In case you didn't get to see the Nobel Award Ceremony, here is the hour long presentation.

The media did not report the standing ovation Mr. Gore received. And of course, it goes without saying, the precious words he spoke, that many may have already read from his emailed transcript, but surely not reported.

(if you can't watch the entire ceremony, which is only an hour, Mr. Gore comes on about half way)

Now a report just out today says, unlike what I was priveleged to hear as soon as Mr. Gore found out in October when he spoke in Rio Rancho, NM, the Navy Research saying we may have as little as 7 years to act. Unfortunately, just releasing from the Data Center in Boulder, Colorado, the time is between too late, or 5 years on their estimates.

Will we rise up and demand this be solved? Will we stop finding excuses for greed and avoidance. How will we live with ourselves if we find out that our Country was the soul reason for failure to solve this crisis before it was too late? Major cities around the world are already running out of water; Austrlia, Africa, the US-GEORGIA!
