Gore to lead NYC town hall on global warming May 25
Wednesday, 17 May 2006
(PRNewswire) - Former Vice President Al Gore, film producers Lawrence Bender and Laurie David, and NASA scientist Dr. James E. Hansen will participate in a panel discussion presented by WIRED Magazine at The Town Hall in New York City on Thursday, May 25th.

Gore will open the evening by framing the issues explored in "An Inconvenient Truth", his new film that examines the detrimental effects of global warming. WIRED contributor John Hockenberry will then moderate a solutions-focused conversation between Gore, Bender, David, and Hansen on what the public can do to act now in the fight against global warming.

"An Inconvenient Truth strives to educate a mass audience about the climate crisis, and does so in a powerful way," said Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of WIRED Magazine. "The discussion will pick up where the film leaves off, focusing on the solutions, responsibilities and even controversies that we must face now in order to make a difference.
