Al Gore to Expose Bush on Environment, Global-Warming
Thursday January 8, 3:37 pm ET
New York Speech Sponsored by MoveOn.org & Environment2004
Thursday, Jan. 15 at Noon
NEW YORK, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Former Vice President Al Gore will deliver a major address attacking the Bush Administration's policies on global warming and the environment at the historic Beacon Theatre in New York City on Thursday, January 15. The speech is being co-sponsored by MoveOn.org and Environment2004.
Mr. Gore will issue an indictment of the Bush administration's inaction on global warming, linking the issue to U.S. national security. He will show that global warming is happening right now, and yet the President is choosing to help his coal- and oil-company supporters rather than advance modern technologies that can affordably solve this critical problem. The speech will also explore the administration's deliberate attempts to mislead the public as it attacks basic environmental laws and protection.
This is a free event, but attendance is open only to members of MoveOn.org and Environment2004 who have RSVP'd, and to credentialed journalists. Journalists may alternatively listen to the speech by phoning in. Members of the media planning to attend the event or join the listen-in conference call MUST RSVP BY EMAIL to lsabori@fenton.com or cara@fenton.com.
Gore's previous two speeches for MoveOn.org addressed the credibility of the administration and its attacks on civil liberties.
