The presentation runs 24 hours, is available in 13 languages, and is the beginning of a worldwide campaign to tell the truth about the climate crisis and reject the misinformation we hear every day.</p> <p>"Fossil fuel companies and their allies will go to great lengths to deny the fact that climate change is happening now," said Maggie L. Fox, President and CEO of The Climate Reality Project. "But we have one powerful response: Reality. We will dedicate our resources toward educating and engaging the public about the reality of the climate crisis and helping build the global movement for change."</p> <p>One of the key themes of the event will be an attempt to show that the recent extreme weather events (floods, droughts and storms) are the first signs of climate change and the 24 hour event will conclude with a one hour presentation by former U.S. Vice President Al Gore.</p> <p>"The climate crisis knows no political boundaries. Ferocious storms and deadly heat waves are occurring with alarming frequency all over the world. We are living with the reality of the climate crisis every day. The only question is, how soon can we act?" said Vice President Gore.</p> <p>The non-profit <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850/http://climaterealityproject.org/" target="_blank">Climate Reality Project</a> is inviting people from around the world to take part in specific activities to help solve the climate crisis.</p>  <div class="article_video"><object width="480" height="296" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="flashvars" value="cid=8914332&autoplay=false"/><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"/><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/><param name="src" value="http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf"/><embed flashvars="cid=8914332&autoplay=false" width="480" height="296" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850oe_/http://www.ustream.tv/flash/viewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object> </div> <div id="bottom_unit"> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850js_/http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script> </div> </div>  <span class="title">Share</span> <div id="article_share" class="dotsontop"> <span class="as_button"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850/http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal" data-via="gizmag">Tweet</a><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850js_/http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> twttr.events.bind('tweet', function(event) { if (event) { var targetUrl; if (event.target && event.target.nodeName == 'IFRAME') { targetUrl = extractParamFromUri(event.target.src, 'url'); } _gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'twitter', 'tweet', targetUrl]); } }); twttr.events.bind('retweet', function(){ var targetUrl; if (event.target && event.target.nodeName == 'IFRAME') { targetUrl = extractParamFromUri(event.target.src, 'url'); } _gaq.push(['_trackSocial', 'twitter', 'retweet', targetUrl]); }); function extractParamFromUri(uri, paramName){ if(!uri){ return; } var uri = uri.split('#')[0]; //remove anchor var parts = uri.split('?'); //check for query params if(parts.length == 1){ return; //no params } var query = decodeURI(parts[1]); //find the url param paramName += '='; var params = query.split('&'); for(var i = 0, param; param = params[i]; ++i){ if(param.indexOf(paramName) === 0){ return unescape(param.split('=')[1]); } } } </script> </span> <span class="as_button"><script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850js_/http://www.stumbleupon.com/hostedbadge.php?s=1"></script></span> <span class="as_button"><g:plusone size="medium" count="true" href="http://www.gizmag.com/climate-reality-project-24-hour-live/19833/"></g:plusone></span> <span class="as_button"><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850js_/http://platform.linkedin.com/in.js"></script><script type="in/share" data-counter="right"></script></span> <span class="as_button"><script type="text/javascript">reddit_newwindow='1'</script><script type="text/javascript" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850js_/http://www.reddit.com/static/button/button1.js"></script></span> <fb:like href="http://www.gizmag.com/climate-reality-project-24-hour-live/19833/" send="false" width="450" show_faces="false" font="" id="facebook_like"></fb:like><script type="text/javascript">_ga.trackFacebook();</script> </div>   <div id="tags"> <span class="title">Tags</span> <div class="dotsontop"> <ul> <li>» <a href="/web/20120120143850/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/climate+change/" rel="tag">Climate Change</a></li> <li class="clear_both"></li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="bing_unit"></div>  <span class="title" id="comments">User Comments (31)</span> <div class="dotsontop" id="comment_dots">  <div id="comment-79543" class="a_comment"> <p>snorrrr, snnnnxxxxxx, better than ambien </p> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comment.png" alt="comment"> <span class="name">Sam Bowles</span> <span class="date">- September 14, 2011 @ 06:09 pm PDT</span> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <div id="comment-79561" class="a_comment"> <p>So exactly how much of their information is biased and full of crap? </p> <p>Have you looked at the ice core data for the last 20 thousand years? </p> <p>If you really believe we have the ability to make a significant difference in the amount of Carbon in the atmosphere, then by all means seed the ocean an capture it.

The gamma rays are reduced by sunspots. The temperature has not been rising the past few years. Henrik Svensmark has written a book,Chilling Stars, which explains the cosmic rays from exploding stars help to generate low level clouds, which reflect the sun. The correlations are strong over several time frames from years to millions of years. CO2 and temperature have rough correlations, sometimes the temperature rises ahead of the CO2 levels. Recently the CLOUD experiment at CERN verified that gamma rays increase cloud formation. The current man made global warming story doesn't hold water. The IPPC issues reports that are not peer reviewed. I suspect another for their reports, global domination. Time will tell. The earth is in a cooling period while CO2 is rising. Now if you want to stop burning oil because you may run out, that's another matter. </p> <p>Its the Sun that affects the climate, not CO2. CO2 may account for 1 degree Celcius in 100 years, but the cloud reflectivity accounts for most of it. </p> <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120120143850im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comment.png" alt="comment"> <span class="name">Ed D</span> <span class="date">- September 15, 2011 @ 03:38 pm PDT</span> <div class="clear_both"></div> </div> <div id="comment-79906" class="a_comment"> <p>Give up.
