Al Gore hopes to train 1,000 messengers he hopes will spread out across the
country and present a slide show about global warming that captures the
essence of his Hollywood documentary and book.

The former vice president, a Democrat, said on Monday that by the end of the
summer he would start a bipartisan education campaign to train 1,000 people
to give a version of his slide show on global warming featured in the film
"An Inconvenient Truth" and book of the same name.

"This moment cannot be allowed to pass," Gore told reporters in New York. "I
have seen and heard times before when the awareness of the climate crisis
has peaked and then a few months later it's gone. I think this time is
different, but I have to say I'm not certain of that."

The book is an expanded version of the film. Both are based on a slide show
he has given more than 1,000 times over the past 30 years on the dangers of
global warming. He says climate change is a crisis that has become a moral
issue.

Most scientists believe carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap the
sun's heat in the atmosphere leading to stronger storms and rising sea
levels that could swamp low-lying islands by 2100.

Gore said all the profits from his film and the book will be donated to
train the messengers. He said the carriers of the message will give the
slide show at high schools and rotary clubs in the United States and around
the world.

Gore said on Monday, as he has consistently, that he had no plans to run for
president in 2008. He added that he would continue to give the slide show
even as the messengers give their versions of it.
