O autor da publicação, An Inconvenient Truth virá a Portugal no próximo dia 8 de Fevereiro, a convite da Cunha Vaz e Associados e com o apoio da CGD, EDP, CML e Lexus falar sobre alterações climáticas. A conferência decorrerá no Museu da Electricidade mas ao que parece deverá ter acesso (muito) restrito já que não se comunica esse aspecto do evento nos sites dos envolvidos, nem junto dos media.
Al Gore, cujo cachet se eleva aos 175.000€, exigiu ser transportado num carro híbrido e poderá ainda ser ouvido e interpelado no nosso país um mês depois, a 7 de Março no 3º Forum Comércio Moderno, no Centro de Congressos do Estoril onde decorrem 2 dias de Debate sobre Ambiente Consumo e Marcas, promovido pela APED (Associação Portuguesa de Empresas de Distribuição). Apressem-se os interessados porque as inscrições para os dois dias (7 e 8) ficam por 900€ para não sócios até ao Dia dos Namorados, passando depois a 1200€.

O video "An inconvenient truth" estará disponível no dia 24 de Fevereiro com o Público, por qualquer coisa como 15€. Parecia-me uma atitude mais «sustentável» se possibilitasse o download gratuito no link http://www.climatecrisis.net/
Dear Susana,
When the producers of An Inconvenient Truth first approached me with the concept for the film, I was skeptical. Could we really take a slideshow about the climate crisis and turn it into a compelling movie? Davis Guggenheims Oscar win for best documentary and a second one for Melissa Etheridges beautiful song I Need to Wake Up was a testament to their ability, but it was also a testament to you.
It was you who packed the theaters and got your friends to go see this film, greatly increasing the audience. And then this past December, it was you who connected through MoveOn.org and AlGore.com to attend An Inconvenient Truth viewing parties. At those parties and in the weeks that followed, nearly 200,000 of you wrote to Congress, demanding that they address the climate crisis like the planetary emergency that it is.
Even though I have been a life-long movie fan, I didnt really understand how big of an audience a movie could reach. And of course I never would have imagined in a million years that a movie that I was a part of would receive two Academy Awardsor oneor would have ever been made in the first place! As humbling as this moment is, An Inconvenient Truth will only succeed if it drives all of us to take action. Thats why Im asking you to join me in the next stage of our fight. On March 21st, I'm going to hand-deliver the messages you signed when I testify at Congressional hearings on the climate crisis.
This is an incredible opportunity to demonstrate to Congress that we demand immediate action. And I need your help to really make this moment count. Can you commit to getting 10 friends to send their message to Congress through AlGore.com before March 21st? The more voices I can bring to Washington, the more powerful our message will be.
To get your friends involved, just forward them this note or direct them to:

There is no longer a debate about the fact that global warming is real. We're causing it. The consequences are serious, and could be headed towards catastrophe if we dont fix it. And it's not too late. I don't want to imagine a future in which our children say, What were our parents thinking? Why didn't they wake up when they had a chance? And I know you dont either.
The hundreds of thousands of you who signed messages to Congress showed me what's possible. Working together we can unite millions of people and build support for real action on a scale that has never been seen before.
Help me take the first step and fill up that hearing room with your signatures. That picture alone will send a powerful message.
Can you commit to getting ten more people to send messages to Congress demanding action to stop global warming?

Im looking forward to working with you on this monumental task.
Thank you,
Al Gore
