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...

as I said - for me, taking money from the UN is just as dishonorable as for the leftists taking money from big oil.

i learned about GW from my professor back in 1995. I don't think the grant existed then. seriously, scientists (correctly or wrongly) were worried about it long before UN or Gore.

and my reply to you is exactly the same as to azazzela,
monetary source is of secondary importance.

agreed.
my point only was that the sources are dubious on both sides.
