West Virginians Trained By Al Gore To Present on
Climate Change
Charleston resident and WV Environmental Council member
Allan Tweddle is now a certified presenter for Al Gore’s Climate
Project.
Allan spent three days training in Nashville in "an
awesome and life altering experience." Allan was invited by Al Gore and
his staff to take the training, along with 170 others, including a high
school physics teacher from Harpers Ferry.
"The materials and over 300 slides go way beyond his
movie, An Inconvenient Truth," Allan said. "And those who dismiss
the Climate Project’s sound scientific basis and action concepts really
aren’t listening to the message, but are instead trying to shoot the
messenger. The presentation is scientifically correct and executed
with very professional graphics."
A couple of the people who have received this training
have contacted OVEC, asking to use some of our mountaintop removal
photos in their presentations.
Our photos help illustrate the full cycle and heavy toll
of our continued over-reliance on burning coal for electricity.
Allan’s dynamic, educational and inspiring presentation
awaits your invitation.
You are strongly encouraged to contact Allan to set up
speaking engagements in your community. Call him at (304) 925-9184 or
e-mail allantweddle@msn.com.
