Al Gore

News from Miriam at the Oyster's Garter: There's a new documentary about ocean acidification coming in early 2009.

A Sea Change follows "retired educator and concerned grandfather Sven Huseby back to stunning ancestral sites (Norway, Alaska the Pacific Northwest) where he finds cutting-edge ocean research underway. His journey of self-discovery brings adventure, surprise and revelation to the hard science of acidification."

Ocean acidification is one of those climate change nasties that most people have a general idea about. But when it comes to its long-term consequences, they're blissfully ignorant, which is why a documentary like this has the potential to be a great thing, in my opinion (and if Al Gore has anything to say about it.) Watch the trailer below:

Today I watched Al Gore, the climate crisis' veritable rock star (and recipient of a 2007 Oceana award), speak at Constitution Hall here in DC.

TED.com is running an exclusive video of Al Gore giving a new presentation on the climate crisis.
