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...

Alka, i maybe stupid, but what's wrong with ISTR?
it's a world-wide society of scolars who share some interests.
it's not different from SRCD or any other professional societies.
why do think that they don't care about peer review?
i looked at their website and they seem just as fine as SRCD, Cogscie or any other professional society.
maybe I missed something important though, that you saw.
btw, there are cyles in solar activity :)
