Former US Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore urged Filipinos to urgently address the effects of climate change felt around the world.
Gore was in the country to talk on climate change and present the updated Asian version of “An Inconvenient Truth,” a multi-media presentation on the threat of climate change and solutions to global warming.
With only a decade or so left to address the problem as what scientists claim, the US vice president said it is fortunate that environmental issues confronting the world are reversible.
He said a clear manifestation of global warming, is the occurrence of storms worldwide.
Gore also enjoined the government to work with concerned groups or agencies and to review policies on the environment.
He said the country could adopt clean energy sources to address climate change. (PIA Bohol)
