Yep, that's Former VP Al Gore...

...right there. A huge privilege to hear the man himself, who was speaking in Edinburgh today at the Scottish Low Carbon Investment Conference.

Boy, does he know how to deliver a powerpoint presentation! Inspiring stuff, and I was particularly pleased when he talked about the legacy we are leaving for our children and young people. He was also full of praise for Scotland in taking a lead on all things climate challenge related, and making the great transition to a low carbon economy.

Have to say though - at the risk of being "flamed" - I found it astonishing that there were actually climate change denyer's outside the conference venue - and also one amongst the audience. Staggering...
