Talk Climate Crisis with Al Gore on Google+

tornado

Tornadoes, tropical storms, hurricanes, cyclones, winter storms — they are all seemingly increasing in frequency and strength. What else can we expect from the slow-rising climate change … and is it really that slow based on some of the things we’ve seen in the weather lately? Former Vice President Al Gore will be leading an online discussion via Google+ on June 11, 2013 @ 2 p.m. ET to discuss this very topic.

This online round table will brainstorm ideas to help resolve our climate change problem. Between now and then, Gore invites everyone to participate in the Science on G+ Google+ community to share their thoughts and suggestions to help solve this crisis. The top idea-generators will join Al Gore and Jeff Skoll (Founder, The Climate Reality Project) during the Google+ Hangout event on June 11.

This Google+ Hangout on Air kicks off Google+ Conversations, a new series on Google+ where everyday users have the opportunity to engage global experts in discussions on the issues that matter to them.

To participate in the Google+ Conversation, join the Science on G+ Community and then tune in to the final Hangout on Air (RSVP).

In addition, to celebrate the film’s seventh anniversary, An Inconvenient Truth is now available for 99 cents on Google Play. Participant’s digital network, TakePart.com, will also run a special five-part editorial series on climate change that will dive deeper into the issue and its evolution beginning June 10 at takepart.com/an-inconvenient-truth. As part of the series, TakePart has also teamed with The Climate Reality Project to recommend 10 climate crisis actions people can take.
