Gore brought serious talk of global climate change to the Central Coast. Gore was the special guest for Monday night's Panetta lecture series called Saving the Planet That Sustains Us, but the passion peaked around one topic: the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP has not released specific figures on the amount of oil spilled since the April 20 explosion. The former vice president said the company's decision to bar the scientific community from investigating the spill is both unfair to the American people and inexcusable. Before moving on to the next topic, he drew an analogy between the gulf oil spill and global warming hoping his numbers would hit home. added by: JanforGore
