Interesting story unfolding here..
Today, Mr. Bush welcomed Vice-President & Nobel Prize winning Al Gore to the White House for a private conversation concerning global climate change.
Per Gore:
“It was a private conversation,” Gore said repeatedly to a throng of reporters, avoiding giving details. “Of course we talked about global warming, of course, the whole time.”
It’s nice to see the current administration opening their arms to what the country’s been voicing for so long. We can only say ‘thank you’ to Al for being our voice in this epic struggle.

Al continues to strengthen his ties to Silicon Valley these days, announcing Monday he had joined the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers as a Partner.
Per the New York Times article :
The alliance provides Mr. Gore an additional pulpit for his advocacy of environmental causes, but also gives the Nobel laureate an opportunity to nurture green businesses.
It appears his part-time duties will revolve around analyzing growth potential for alternative energy business sector.
In addition, Al noted he’ll be donating his entire salary to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit policy foundation.
An amazing opportunity, though, to merge the wealth of his knowledge with emerging business and technology.
Best of luck in this endeavor Al.. it’ll be great to see your impact on this in the coming years.
