Al Gore Training Project Taps Gordian Raacke as Global Warming Messenger

[January 2007, Bridgehampton, Long Island, NY] The Executive Director of Renewable Energy Long Island, Gordian Raacke has recently completed a rigorous training program led by former Vice President Al Gore to spread the message about the threat of and solutions to global warming.

“Gordian Raacke is an outstanding example of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis,” said Gore. “We are so pleased that he has made a serious commitment to this challenge by coming to Nashville to become part of this unprecedented grassroots effort.”

“Gordian will be spending the next year making presentations on Long Island, discussing how individuals and businesses, schools, and other organizations can be a major part of the solution to the growing crisis of global warming,” continued Gore.

Gordian Raacke was part of a select group of individuals chosen to receive this important training January 4 - 6. Each trainee took part in an intensive tutorial about issues surrounding global warming, led by Gore and a team of renowned scientists and environmental educators.

In addition, each received technical training to become experienced presenters of a version of Gore’s computer-based slide show, which became the basis of his best-selling book and documentary film, “An Inconvenient Truth.”

Presentations can be scheduled by sending a request to Info@RenewableEnergyLongIsland.org
