Al Gore

Good papers require good research and thought. Good research and thought requires time. Time and tide wait for no man. In other words, if you haven't got started on any research or thinking about your paper, now is a good time to do so.


One of the guys you can take a look at is Al Gore. He has made a docu-movie, given thousands of slide shows and even renovated his entire home to reduce carbon emissions. It might be a good idea to round up some people, go to a video rental store and borrow The Inconvenient Truth. It's a good way to get a sense of what climate change is and it might be spark some ideas in your head too. Check out the poster below.


For those who have watched the movie or don't have the time to do so, here is a Youtube video of a slide show that Al Gore did. In this video, he gives several solutions to reduce carbon emissions to address climate change. When watching this video, don't be too obsessed about the 15 points he lists out. Try to read the subtext and listen carefully to what he says before and after the slide show. There are solutions in there as well although he doesn't directly spell it out.
