Gore says changing lightbulbs is not enough
Al Gore urged world leaders in Davos on Thursday to change laws, "not just light bulbs" to tackle global warming. A U.N. official said that the current turmoil going on in the markets must not be allowed to delay action.Gore said that the election of a new president here in the U.S. in November could only bring an improvement. "In addition to changing the light bulbs, it is far more important to change the laws and to change the treaty obligations that nations have," Gore said.
So we need to keep changing those light bulbs, and while pushing for our leaders to do what they can also. And during this exciting primary season, it's important to understand where the candidates stand on the environment before we make our choice.
