The World Economic Forum's annual meeting was held last week in Davos, Switzerland. I happened to catch a C-Span replay of a session with Bono, Al Gore, and Thomas L. Friedman entitled " A Unified Earth Theory: Combining Solutions to Extreme Poverty and the Climate Crisis." Heavy stuff for a Saturday morning when my intent was to find some mindless programming, but this was incredibly interesting. Gore approached Bono several months ago about combining Bono's efforts towards poverty (One campaign) and Gore's concerns on global warming. They discussed this and how the two efforts are intertwined. You can view this and other sessions from the forum's annual meeting at:
