"...learning how to politely deflect contrarians and skeptics"

Learn about Al Gore's "climate crusaders" here.

Excerpts:

"...to date, more than a million people have seen that slide show, personally delivered around the world!"

More than a million served. It seems like an amazing statistic to the group, who are stunned to hear that there are now 1,700 trained presenters working in a dozen countries – over a thousand in the U.S. alone – and that the next big training session is scheduled for India in March.

We are not scientists. We are priests and teachers and mayors and professional athletes and country-western singers and software programmers and just plain folks, and the science can get pretty deep out there in the trenches when the nay-sayers jump up in the back of the room and scream that Antarctica is actually cooling, so global warming must be a hoax perpetrated by liberals!

So Jeremy and the other science advisors to The Climate Project are here with the data to re-focus us and make sure we get the story right – fearlessly and confidently, without backing down.

Is it fair to ask how this is funded?
