...A personal friend of the Gore family, [Kathy] Mattea took part in the grassroots training program with the Vice President and top scientists in the field, learning how to present his slideshow around the country.From Mattea's Wikipedia entry:
"In January 2006, I saw Al Gore give his now-famous Power-Point presentation on Global Warming, at Vanderbilt," Mattea said. "I didn't sleep for the next 2 nights. I found myself thinking about it constantly. I spent 3 days last September training with Mr. Gore and one of the top scientists in the field. I walked out with a burning commitment to take this message to as many people as I can. I was one of those people who thought that there's nothing a lone person can do to make a difference, and I learned differently. Now I want to spread the word of hope to regular people, and help them learn what the huge ripple effect can be when we each make small changes in our daily routines. We really can be part of the Solution. Even the smallest action empowers us to change our world. I want to help people remember that."
Kathy currently travels the country presenting Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" and speaking to crowds about the importance fighting global warming and the environmental and physical devastation of coal mining.Mattea's efforts are panned here.
From this article:
Singer Songwriter Kathy Mattea is one of 50 entertainers coached by former Vice President Al Gore to speak about Global Warming.Update: In response to the first commenter--thanks for bringing up Bill Gates!
In a duel of college dropouts, Kathy Mattea is panicked by carbon dioxide and Bill Gates is notably not panicked. Why do you suppose that is?

Umm, are you claiming that politicians cannot be experts in a field or better yet, are you claiming that college dropouts are incapable of understanding complex subjects? Perhaps you and Bill Gates should have a talk.
Al Gore has studied the subject of climate change since the 1970s so stop trying to discredit him like he's some high school student taking up the issue for the first time.
