Action of the Week
Al Gore recently launched a drive to mobilise 10 million volunteers to force politicians to act on climate change - twice as many as the number who marched against the Vietnam war or in support of civil rights during the heyday of US activism in the 1960s.
During the next three years, his Alliance for Climate Protection plans to spend $300m (about £150m) on television advertising and online organising to make global warming among the most urgent issues for elected American leaders.
The We Campaign is a project of The Alliance for Climate Protection - a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore. Their ultimate aim is to halt global warming. Specifically, educating people in the US and around the world that the climate crisis is both urgent and solvable.
The new website wecansolveit.org has loads of petitions, ideas and information about the problem.
You can keep up to date by signing up to their website, and join what has been called the most ambitious public campaign on global warming yet.
