Former Vice President Al Gore, film producers Lawrence Bender and Laurie David, and NASA scientist Dr. James E. Hansen will participate in a panel
discussion presented by WIRED Magazine at The Town Hall in New York City
on Thursday, May 25th.
Gore will open the evening by framing the issues explored in "An Inconvenient Truth", his new film that examines the detrimental effects of global warming. WIRED contributor John Hockenberry will then moderate a solutions-focused conversation between Gore, Bender, David, and Hansen on what the public can do to act now in the fight against global warming.
"An Inconvenient Truth strives to educate a mass audience about the climate crisis, and does so in a powerful way," said Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of WIRED Magazine. "The discussion will pick up where the film leaves off, focusing on the solutions, responsibilities and even controversies that we must face now in order to make a difference."
An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary based on Al Gore's tireless research on global warming and his crusade to raise awareness of this planet- threatening problem. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January and will be in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on May 24.

I'm really, really looking forward to seeing the film. I hope mllions of people see it, although I suspect that the same general distaste for harsh realities that keep people from trying to make changes in their own lives to deal with global warming will prevent a really big turnout.
Best line I heard today: A friend of mine suggested that we look for ways to stop exhaling carbon dioxide. |

Actually, methane is a far worse problem, so stop eating beans and exhaling from your nether regions. |
