Trying to follow Al Gore as he speaks is like trying to drink water from a fire hose.
The former vice president is a fountain of knowledge and ideas, stimulating thought and concern as he weaves a tale of the future.
Gore was in Atlanta Friday evening at the Carter Center to talk about his most recent book: “The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change.”

Driven Jimmy Carter past national vilification for his presidential failures, driven him into the humanitarian work that has changed the world, and driven his grandson to appreciate the example set by the older generations – especially the women behind the men.
