 UNITED NATIONS (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday he intends to use Al Gore's "very powerful political message" on climate change to mobilize international awareness and political support for international action on global warming.
Ban said that during a meeting early Friday morning the former U.S. vice-president, whose climate change documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" recently won two Academy Awards, offered to help the United Nations tackle the problem.
"He offered strong support and commitment to work very closely with me, and I am going to fully use his very powerful political message to mobilize political will and thus enhance the awareness of the international community with this issue," the secretary-general said.
