Actually... (none / 1)

Tie the IEA report to the former head of BP's statement that subsidies for fossil fuels need to be eliminated, the British report on the cost of global warming last year, and Gore's call to Obama yesterday (to implement the master renewables plan); one begins to see the outlines of a global action plan.

20 years too late, but in the spirit of Obama's "Green Jobs" plan, better than 40 years too late.

Not a phone call; tv commentators were referring to an ad Gore's group took out in, i think, the NYT, on the renewable energy program.
