I heard Al Gore's presentation today and was impressed by his wit and the quality of his argument. I wasn't one of the invited few, which suits me just fine. Instead I went down under the Auckland Uni library to B28, a lecture theatre I hadn't been in in over 20 years. It hadn't changed much. Gore's presentation was being simulcast there, though not his image (for "copyright reasons").

Anyway, the guy's a charmer. He runs a great line of self deprecating humour and understatement, though you sometimes feel it was a bit too well practised.

As to the main part of his speech, well, let's just say when I look at the evidence I see it heavily, heavily stacked on one side. A lot of business people now get this. Many even see business opportunities in it. Maybe the people who deny climate change are just anti business.
