"Deliver the Truth" -- new info on training at Gore's climate institute

(cross-posted from General Discussion)

Remember, a few months ago, when Al Gore announced that he would be training people to go out and give presentations on global warming -- and what we can do about it -- to community groups? They've got some new information up at their website. I hope the DU mods won't mind if I post it here.


Learn How to Deliver the Truth
You’ve seen An Inconvenient Truth. You’ve made changes in your life to reduce your carbon footprint. Looking for something else to do to help solve the climate crisis? How about learning how to give the presentation that is at the
heart of An Inconvenient Truth?

Starting this Fall, Al Gore and a team of renowned climate change scientists and educators will train more than 1,000 individuals to give a version of his presentation on the effects of - and solutions for - global warming, to community groups throughout the U.S.

Seven training sessions will be held in Nashville Tennessee from late September 2006 to January 2007. Each training session will be 2 days long, is free of charge (trainees are responsible for their transportation, accommodation and meals), and open to individuals of all ages, educational and technical backgrounds.

The two-day program is designed to familiarize trainees with the climate change science, equip them with new presentation skills, and develop a new dynamic online learning community for ongoing activities.
