| August 2004 Gore Gets Heated Over Global Warming
The industrialized world is on a collision course with nature, said former Vice President Al Gore, noting that global temperatures have skyrocketed over the past 50 years. Gore cited a Ford Motor Co. plan to buy hybrid engine technology from Japanese auto giant Toyota, the manufacturer of the enormously popular and fuel-efficient Prius sedan. "Instead of hiring more engineers to solve the problem, they hired more lawyers to fight against the requirement they do the right thing. And so now they're having to buy the technology from Japan in order to catch up." Gore, who was a guest of the Environmental Club and View from the Top speaker series, urged Business School students to take action to save the environment. "Deciding to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem is critical," he said. |
