Internet could save Earth says Gore

Former US vice president Al Gore said an internet revolution carrying Barack Obama to the White House should now focus its power on stopping Earth’s climate crisis.  

  The internet’s critical role in Democrat Obama’s victory in the presidential race against Republican John McCain was a “great blow for victory” in addressing a “democracy crisis” stifling action against climate change, Gore said.  

  Obama’s victory, seen by many as a repudiation of policies of president George W Bush, was validation of sorts for Gore, who lost to Bush in a controversial election outcome in 2000.
