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...

Jen'kin, what you wrote is very smart and profound, and my reply cannot do it justice, because today is my last day at work before a vacation. I hope to see you soon, and we can talk about this, and then move on to non-normative events in our own lives.
