No doubt, this is one of the greatest speeches I have ever seen. Please take 30 minutes of your time to watch it. Turn off your phone, lock your door, tell anyone who might distract you to go away. Then make a cup of tea and focus, hard. Do whatever you have to do. But make it happen. I don't think I am exaggerating when I say that this will be one of the most important 30 minutes of your lives.
And I'm not the only one who feels this way:

My view of Mr. Gore's passionate engagement with some of the biggest issues of our time is that he is offering us the kind of vision and sense of urgency that has been so lacking in the presidential campaigns. But the tendency in a society that is skeptical, if not phobic, about anything progressive has been to dismiss his large ideas and wise counsel, as George H. W. Bush once did by deriding him as "ozone man."
