Charles wants industry leaders to better assess, and eventually reverse, the damage they and their products are doing to the environment.

The heir to the throne will launch a new project in front of up to 200 politicians, businessmen and other guests at St James's Palace on Wednesday night.

He will be supported by the Archbishop of Canterbury and a video message by former US presidential candidate Al Gore.

Charles, the Archbishop and Lord Browne of Madingley, the chief executive of petroleum giant BP, will address guests at the launch.

Hold on tight to your umbrellas. Newly christened global warming warrior Bill Bradbury will begin barnstorming the state next week armed with Al Gore's slide show and orders to raise an army for the cause.

Bradbury, who is Oregon's secretary of state, was in the first class of slide show messengers trained personally by the former vice president at his Carthage, Tenn., family homestead, which is featured in last summer's hit film "An Inconvenient Truth."

Bradbury, a Democrat, received the invitation after he saw the movie in July and called Gore's chief of staff to ask whether he could help. Bradbury mentioned that he had worked to promote the Oregon Health Plan in the early 1990s to help then-Gov. John Kitzhaber.

"I said, `I'd love to be one of (Gore's) lieutenants,' " Bradbury remembers.

Bradbury said he has long been concerned about global warming but the movie made the stakes clear.

"Singer Takes Up Global Warming Fight"

Her music is country. Her message is the world.
Kathy Mattea, a fixture on the country music scene for 20 years, embarked on a new phase of her career Saturday morning at Lakeview High School. She gave her first public presentation of "An Inconvenient Truth," the slide show about global warming made famous by former Vice President Al Gore's book and movie of the same title.

<snip>

An audience of some 250 people was viewing a picture of Earth snapped by the Voyager I spacecraft from the edge of the solar system. What they saw was a pinprick of light just barely distinguishable in the grainy image.

"That's our home," Mattea said of the tiny speck, her voice choking up with emotion. "That's why this is so important."
