Al Gore brings his Truth
Gore brings his Truth
The planet's foremost climate-change crusader is coming to win over Canada's energy capital.
Former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, whose cautionary documentary on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, has been nominated for an Oscar, will address a Calgary audience April 23.
He's agreed to an invitation from the Calgary Chamber of Commerce, whose president, Heather Douglas, acknowledged Gore's views on human contribution to global warming will face some hostility.
"Part of our principle ... is to bring in people with new thoughts -- here's a man who's done a lot of research," said Douglas.
Gore has criticized development of the oilsands, which he's dubbed an obstacle in addressing global warming emissions.
Tickets for the event will be $100 for chamber of commerce members and $150 for non-members.
