YES, WE CAN!

Al Gore is back – not that he went anywhere – in the news with yet another environmental initiative that picks up where "An Inconvenient Truth" left off.

Whereas "Truth" presented a rather bleak picture of the future with little in the way of a blueprint for change, the "We Campaign" is an action-oriented plan backed by $300 million raised in large part by The Alliance for Climate Protection -- a nonprofit, nonpartisan effort founded by Nobel laureate and former Vice President Al Gore.

"We" is a three-year advocacy campaign calling for the U.S. to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. It will combine advertising, online organizing and partnerships with grass-roots groups to educate the public about global warming and urge solutions from elected officials.

Reaching across political lines, Gore has enlisted the help of people like Pat Robertson and Newt Gingrich in fighting global warming.
