Gore is in the House Posted by Moira Whelan

It appears the rumors that Gore would be here at Netroots Nation have now become fact. He is apparently in the house and will speak shortly.

This is actually very cool given a bigger post I hope to write soon...the topic I find myself talking about more than any other issue in the hallways of Netroots Nation is global warming. It's also not like people are talking about it because it's a huge problem, they're talking about it with a sense of urgency usually reserved for a pending bill in Congress, or a political race. This community has forced change and brought attention on a range of issues, and hope to bring it over the finish line in a few months.

But Global Warming is the next big issue upon which we need to create action.

It's reflected when you talk to the Green bloggers, but also in the foreign policy community: Richard Clarke said in his panel that despite the debacle in Iraq, and Afghanistan, and the disaster in New Orleans, we will look back at the missed window to combat global warming as the greatest disaster in the history of American government. In history, Bush will be remembered more for denying the fact that the planet is crumbling around us than he will be for other things. It's hard to believe, but in the big scheme of things, completely true.

This is not to say, by the way, that only now is the clarion call sounded by many being heeded, but there's no doubt that the energy crisis has crossed over into being the most politically critical issue in America today...and it's about damn time.

Update: he's here!!!
