Al Gore's PowerPoint presentation (which was actually done in Keynote on a Mac) may be the most famous global-warming slide show, but it's one of probably millions. Scores of save-the-planet slide shows have been shown off in boardrooms and classrooms around the world. Here are some cooked up by people from around the globe.
Alas, the cute factor is conspicuously missing.
So the next time you're dallying in digital presentations, don't forget the pleading penguins and polar bears. More pictures of fire and brimstone would probably help too. You can find these and other slide shows on nearly any subject at SlideShare, described as "YouTube meets PowerPoint."

The French, Spanish and Italian ones all seem to present the basic science and situation adequately. The French one has original graphics, so far as I could tell, rather than borrowed ones, which deserves praise. But the Italian one is the most attractive, and has a good analysis of mitigation efforts in the EU.
The Portuguese one is rather homely and sweet. There is an amusing page on all the physical ills that global warming may make us feel, something I had never seen emphasized before. And for all I know, it is not exactly accurate.
The American one is very good, but is not really comparable to the others, because it is interested in proposing solutions, not in explaining global warming from the beginning.
So I voted for the Italian one, but think highly of the American one too.
Chickens are our cousins!
So are other sensitive animals!
Enough is enough!
No more factory farms!
