Description:
100 million people will be displaced world wide if the antarctic ice melting continues, oceanic and wind flow patterns will go into utter chaos, the arctic ice cap will become a hot-tub of exponentially increasing temperatures. The science is indisputable, but the media and general public perception of the facts is being distorted by a complex matrix of memetic and motivational constraints.

We had a live satellite feed video chat with Al Gore afterwards, and his semtiment and efforts are working strongly towards the upwelling of massive citizen awareness and apathy smashing education and media to curcumvent the entrenched administrations reluctance to take this seriously.

KPCB and the myriad of powerful companies that it funds, have an incredible amount of potential influence around policy change, but also around the public perception of such an important and, now clearly, critical, issue. The role that KPCB is playing in this exposure is very encouraging. Gore makes a strong case at the end that this does not have to be a choice between vitality and profitability, that tremendous opportunity exists in doing the right thing. The challenge here, now, with these companies, is to step back and revolutionize the game.
