Al Gore to head Climate Change Week in Queensland in June



An Inconvenient Truth presenter and former US vice-president Al Gore will run a three-day climate change training session in Brisbane during Queensland's first Climate Change Week.

for decades. We’ll never know how much of the action on climate we see in motion are due to Al and those he has worked with and trained. We are lucky.
