La condizione del paneta e i rischi che corre a causa dei gas serra è la scomoda verità che Al Gore si è impegnato a diffondere di persona attraverso un tour che si è esteso ai quattro angoli della terra avviato dopo aver perso (momentaneamente) la corsa alla Casa Bianca. Conscio di andare incontro allo scetticismo delle persone ma forte delle sue ricerche nel campo e di vent'anni di esperienza (già nel 1992 aveva pubblicato il libro Earth in the Balance: Ecology and the Human Spirit sul quale si basa la sua attuale "predicazione") Gore espone una serie di dati scientifici inattaccabili, tabulati, previsioni sul nostro prossimo futuro e risposte alla domanda su come affrontare il riscaldamento globale del pianeta.

Unist’ot’en Camp, Gidimt’en checkpoint and the larger Wet’suwet’en Nation are standing up to the Canadian government and corporations who continue colonial violence against Indigenous people.

The violence, environmental destruction, and disregard for human rights following TC Energy (formerly TransCanada) / Coastal GasLink’s interim injunction has been devastating to bear, but this fight is far from over.
