Gore to Testify on Climate Change Before Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Time, January 23, 2009. "Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.) today announced that Former Vice-President Al Gore will testify [on Wednesday, January 28, at 10 a.m.] before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on climate change and the importance of U.S. leadership. Gore will discuss the latest climate change science and the implications for the future of our planet. 'My friend and former Senate colleague Al Gore is one of this nation's leading authorities on the subject of climate change, and we are honored that he has agreed to appear before the Committee,' said Kerry. 'Al Gore has been sounding the alarm on climate change for over three decades, and he understands the urgent need for American engagement and leadership on this issue. America must act decisively in order for the nations of the world to reach agreement on a climate change treaty at the December 2009 meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark. The timeline is short for us to respond to the threat of climate change, and this hearing will examine what America must do to lead the world in crafting a truly global solution.'"
