[Al Gore was instrumental in raising consciousness in the 2 most important
planet changing issues of the last 50 years - the Internet and Climate
Change. He now brings these two themes together at his upcoming talk at
SC09 in Portland, which I think confirms the critical role that research
Cyber-infrastructure and the Internet will play in addressing the challenge
of climate change. SC09 is the preeminent conference for
cyber-infrastructure involving supercomputing and advanced networks. Thanks

PORTLAND, Ore.-27 April, 2009 - SC09, the 22nd annual event in the SC
conference series, recognized globally as the premier international
conference on high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis,
announced today it has selected former U.S. Vice President Al Gore to
deliver the conference keynote address.
SC09 has adopted the theme of "Computing for a Changing World," and will
present a special focus on initiatives related to Sustainability,
Bio-Computing and the 3D Internet.
Gore will deliver the keynote presentation on Thursday, 19 November for the
anticipated crowd of 11,000 attendees made up of leading computational
scientists, researchers, and supercomputing experts from around the globe,
many of whom work on High Performance Computing (HPC) platforms and
supercomputers researching life-changing issues such as disease
understanding, drug discovery, renewable energy, and global climate change.
Gore has been an evangelist on global climate and energy-related issues
since the 1980s. He has lectured around the globe and his climate change
documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth" won an Academy Award and was
instrumental in his selection as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in
2007.
"Al Gore has been a champion of applied computing technology for more than
two decades," said Dr. Wilfred Pinfold, General Chair of SC09. "The High
Performance Computing and Communication Act of 1991, often referred to as
'The Gore Bill' was undoubtedly a milestone in Internet history. That bill
led to formation of the National Information Infrastructure (NII), which
Gore labeled the Information Superhighway. We are honored to name Al Gore as
our SC09 keynote speaker."
