Opera tribute not too inconvenient for Gore

The legendary La Scala opera house in Milan has commissioned a full-length work to be based on [Gore's] book, An Inconvenient Truth, and the Oscar-winning documentary of the same title. ... La Scala's artistic director, Stephane Lissner, told a press conference the new opera had been commissioned from an Italian composer, Giorgio Battistelli. He said it would be staged in 2011.

Some people never learn. In 3 years, chances are the main issue will be global cooling, not global warming, so the opera would have to be rewritten...

(I don't argue with either you or S. just plain funny).

btw, in Stony Brook I took geology, and our professor was fully convinced that greenhouse effect exists, and the consequences will be dangerous for humanity.

He listed all bunch of possible reasons for it (Vulcanic activity, solar activity, even platforms' movement could be a contributor), but from what I see, all these reasons existed in 1995 when I was a student. They all died since then, and we are left with human activity.
