The Ted talk video of former U.S. Vice President Al Gore runs for 16 minutes and 57 seconds. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore started off with rather amusing anecdotes of how his life has been since he left the White House. Then he proceeded with the real serious business of talking about the climate crisis with a question: What can you do about the climate crisis?
First he presented a temperature record of the United States of America showing that in January of 2006 the temperature was 39.5 which were 8.5 higher than the previous month which was pegged at 31. He, then, mentioned that although cars and trucks are easy visible targets of concern and they should be but the fact is there is more global warming pollution coming from buildings than from cars and trucks. He stresses that carbon capture and sequestration (C.C.S.) will enable us to continue to use fossil fuels in a way that is safe, if we can only use renewable at the current level of technological efficiency.
Al Gore presented the following ways by which people may help in addressing the climate crisis: 1.) 
Reduce emissions from our homes by way of wise energy use, better design, insulation and by using green electricity whenever possible. 2.) Reduce emissions from cars and other forms of transportation by buying a hybrid, using the light rail, car pooling and biking. 3.) Be a green consumer by buying the most energy efficient appliances. 4.) Live a carbon neutral life by reducing carbon dioxide emissions and offsetting others that have not been reduced. 5.) Check out www.climatecrisis.net and consider using the carbon calculator which is equipped with functions to help the user reduce carbon emissions. 6.) Make businesses carbon neutral. 7.) Integrate climate solutions in all your innovations whether one works in technology, entertainment, or in design and architecture. 8.) Invest sustain ably in companies and firms that are part of the solution. 9.) Become catalyst of change by teaching others, learning more about the climate crisis, and talking about it. 10.) Raise awareness. 11.) Sending a representative to Nashville for training under Al Gore. 12.) Become politically active. 13.) Consider the benefits of carbon capping and trading and convince companies to get maximum income from reducing and trading carbon emissions. 14.) Help in mass persuasion campaigns. 15.) Use proper branding for environmental issues.
Al Gore capped his talk with a call to all that are present regardless of political beliefs to help address the issue of climate crisis. He presented his points well and achieved overwhelming response to the cause he aimed to open our eyes on. 
It is really an “Inconvenient Truth” to think about how we are slowly withering our resources away as we strive to preserve our existence. He was able to open many eyes in his quest to promote spreading knowledge about this phenomena. With this engaging and very relevant talk it is no wonder that Al Gore became a Nobel winner.
