Letter from Al Gore
Dear Geraldine,
This year, we have seen historic droughts, heat waves and floods. We’re experiencing record-high temperatures across much of the United States. This extreme weather is being called the “new normal.” But there's nothing normal about it.
We recently introduced you to The Climate Reality Project. Our new focus is to help citizens around the world discover the truth about climate change and take meaningful steps toward solutions. We’re launching with a groundbreaking, global event called 24 Hours of Reality.
Join us for 24 Hours of Reality. RSVP on Facebook to show the world what can change in a day.
Beginning in Mexico City and proceeding around the globe, 24 Hours of Reality will offer a round-the-clock snapshot of the climate crisis, sharing unique perspectives from Tonga to Cape Verde, from Jakarta to London. On September 14-15, we will bring the world together to reveal the full truth, scope and impact of the climate crisis.
We’ll hear from the people and places witnessing firsthand the devastation of extreme weather events. I’m joining 23 Climate Presenters from around the globe to deliver a new multimedia presentation that will broadcast the reality of the climate crisis. The entire 24 hours will be streamed live online from start to finish.
Click here to learn more about 24 Hours of Reality and find the event in your time zone:
The climate crisis is a global problem we all share. And real solutions can only come when we address it together. Join me on September 14, and find out what can change in a day.
Thanks,
Al Gore
Founder and Chairman
The Climate Reality Project
To Al Gore, from the 'climate reality project': This is the artist your friend.
Humanity can solve the climate change problem if we can collaborate instead of competing or going to war against each other.
'Once I heard the question: -" Can Art save the world ?". What can save the world is not a matter of taste but of consciousness. It is Not a mode, a style of Art, but to unite a true, kind and just spirit in action, in whatever work we do. To be humble enough to see what is, and not prejudge anyone, anything; not even out of belief.
There is nothing substantially new in a work of art, or revolution, when you substitute one vanity of power for another, one prejudice for another.'

Some words about an audio visual
Garden Angel project
Letter to Al Gore about a Naturestudio project
Dear Al Gore,
Thank you from my heart for your care for nature and mankind.
Here is what I wrote to an Audio Visual Funds giving organization about our Garden Angel project.
WE CO-CREATE or CO-PRODUCE WITH NATURE,
For example in creating a garden which provides a nature reserve for bio diversity, as Myriam Vandenberghe did in our atelier in Europe, or simply taking inspiration from nature for our work, and promoting it, inspiring people to do the same.
Our philosophical works, drawing, painting and photos are based on the creative mind which can be sensitive to the wonders of the ever new and artistic forms of Nature itself.
The reason for the project Garden Angel, is the goal of Naturestudio,
(A WZV or non-profit society).
(Article 2).a. To promote spiritual self awareness to counterbalance to the spiritual poverty in this World.
b. To sensibilise people for the beauty of nature and the good heart through art and philosophy.
c. To find peaceful solutions to world conflicts
d. To promote better relationships through the creation of philosophic cultural and art works projects and events.
We ask people to stop destroying nature and the world we live with all the disrespect and useless vanity and wars.
*************************************************************************
Naturestudio literally means the atelier is Nature.
This is my questioning of some contemporary concepts of Art:
What is more art ?
'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know'. (Keats).
What is more Art, what is to Create, in the true sense of the word in the deepest sense? A 'manipulation' of images, no matter how commercial, low and vulgar, as we find everywhere in commercial and false publications and in the web, (such as much of that "power boasting","power loving" Rap music graffiti art of street mafia and criminal gangs, or silly soap opera exaggerations, Flemish or not, or an act if spiritual integrity and compassion, even if it is just A STATE OF BEING?
IF a funds organization is more intend on sponsoring the first, because it can sell, and not the second, our concept of art is not compatible.
Being is the ultime art in life. How can that which is and sounds false be more art than that which is and sounds true, in whatever expression of being.
One can only create, in the true sense of the word, by promoting spiritual self awareness, and that is only possible through being spiritually self aware oneself. All the rest is futility.
In a geographic way, what the scenario is and where: between a tropical forest river and a private 'nature reserve' in the heart of Gent, Myriam's garden.
About the personage, Myriam is a poetic personage in herself, as nature is, and to be sensitive to her as to be sensitive to nature is to be inspired, and even if she or nature have unreasonable sides, they inspire you to be a philosopher.

Subject: An Inconvenient Truth
Dear Geraldine,
Seven years ago, I was honored to have my presentation on climate change turned into a movie called An Inconvenient Truth. To this day, I am consistently gratified when people tell me that the film opened their eyes to the climate crisis, and that it has encouraged and inspired acts of leadership, big and small, around the world.
In honor of the seventh anniversary of the film's release, I'm pleased to invite you to join me for an interactive Google Hangout with my good friend Jeff Skoll tomorrow, June 11, at 2pm EDT. We will talk about some key developments in the climate effort since the film originally came out. Most importantly, I want to invite you to participate in shaping the conversation by submitting your questions and watching the Hangout here.
Also, as part of the anniversary celebration, The Climate Reality Project has helped put together this list of ten actions you can take right now on climate change. I hope that you'll visit the site, share it with your friends, and get inspired!
Sincerely,
Al Gore

Good day Norway and Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg!
TO THE PRESS
This is the travelling artist (Geraldine) van Chapman, artist who lived and painted in a cabin in Budor ( Loten , Norway) in the 80's.
So long ago, but the beauty of Nature in Norway is still fresh in my mind and heart.
Norway is now on the news about the trial of Anders Behring Breivik, and I like to send a letter to him to try to dissolve misunderstandings in support of all Norwegians.
Letter to the mass murderer Behring Breivik on behalf of the Norwegian people.
18 April 2012-
Behring Breivik, during your trial you proudly argue that if one judges you have done evil, one does not know the difference between good and evil.
OK, You are a thinker. So let us think together. Let us talk about good and evil, about Justice, what is fair.
Pay attention to this:
What are you defending? The truth or a belief? Love or simply the love of power ?
Violence creates fear, blind submission, which is the dark side of all violent belief systems and ways. You can create a belief, like the Islam, but not consciousness though fear and terrorism.
Norway's Justice gives you a trial, where you can explain yourself, what is fair, but when you gave 'your capital punishment' to 77 Norwegian citizens, without a trial, without first giving a chance for a dialogue, for explaining yourselves to each other, have you been fair, have you been just to them?? NO.
What you have done is you condemned those people with a death sentence, for their political views, for their belief (in a democratic dialogue, not in tyranny).
You condemned them for what you believe is wrong with their thinking.
Have you helped them to think better, by killing them?
Would you have liked if Norway had not given you the chance to explain yourself, and rather have judged you and killed you for what you did? Of course not. If you, who has killed so many people got a trial, why did they not deserve one?
Is it fair to condemn and kill someone without a trial simply out of a belief we have about him, or because of a belief he has?
Is violence such as yours better in any relationship or as a political method than to be open for dialogue as those people you killed?
The unquestionable authority which can condemn without a fair trial (and kill) someone for a belief, is the the injustice not only of the violent Jihadists of the Islam, but in all proud tyrannical rule, whether of religious, nationalistic, ideological or individualistic nature.
From a philosophical point of view, the injustice in the Islamic violence against unbelievers is the same unintelligence exemplified in an act of terrorism such as yours against your own people, for so called nationalistic purposes.
Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists are afraid of questioning, not of killing with bombs.
They rather kill others than be questioned in their authority. Therefore they kill unbelievers. Do you see it??
Fundamentalist Muslim terrorists, maybe imitating their Prophet, do not see the stupidity, the lack of intelligence of brutal violence as an argument against or for defending a belief on the truth.
Do you see this?? If you do not see it, your way is not better than that of the militant Islamic terrorist .
Violence is not the way for consciousness to become clear. On the contrary...
If you see it, then I will believe you have a consciousness.
So please, for Justice and your own good, respect the Norwegian people and Court, who give you a fair trial, realize what you have done and humbly admit you were not just to kill and terrorize all those people..
Would you like to be killed for your beliefs?
Do not do to others what you would not have done to yourself.
True angels destroy not men, but the falseness in them. You cannot enlighten someone by cutting off his head.
Your friend in love of the truth
van Chapman
