Hanging with Al Gore

On Thursday I was lucky enough to attend a private screening of An Inconvenient Truth in Menlo Park at the invitation of my friend June, who is part of the team that puts on the TED conference every year in Monterey. If you haven’t heard about the film yet, it is based on a slideshow about global warming, which Al Gore presents all over the world. I realize that it might be difficult to think of something that might sound more boring, but you’ll have to take my word. An Inconvenient Truth is captivating, entertaining, and terrifying, and since it relies more on facts than heavy-handed activism, I hope it has the potential to appeal to folks across the entire political spectrum (complete aside: the president and his flock of helicopters flew so low over our place on Friday that I raced for the front door because I honestly thought a jet was about to crash right into us). After the movie concluded, Al himself made a surprise visit to the theater to take questions. For a former vice president, he comes across as approachable and very genuine, not to mention funny.
