Denver, CO

Have you seen the movie picture show starring Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth?
This show was here, live and in person, earlier this month on October 2nd at the Wells Fargo Theater in Denver, CO.

Gore presented his famous powerpoint about climate change, as seen in An Inconvenient Truth, but he included updated information, news, etc. Also in the mix was some of Gore’s politics and what he had to say about certain issues which earned him a standing ovation on numerous occasions, shouts of ‘we need you Gore’ and some members of the crowd pleading for him to run for president.

At the end, Al Gore took a few questions from audience members that had been written down and turned in before the show was underway. The hit question of the night came from an elementary school age girl who asked of Gore, “will there be any polar bears around when I’m older?”

Whether you agree with climate change or disagree and feel that Gore’s movie should be labeled ‘An Inconsistent Truth’ I found - and think others would have to agree - Gore’s passion for politics and the environment to be very moving. Even after years and years of playing his slideshow before audiences and years, fighting for environmental causes, working in politics, it is very admirable to witness his passion and know that this man truly believes in what he is saying.
