Well, it seems that Al Gore’s infamous book/movie is now slated to be an opera on one of the world’s most prestigious stages: La Scala. From an announcement I saw:

MILAN, Italy (AP) – First it was the film and the book. Now the next stop for Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” is opera.

La Scala officials say the Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce an opera on the international multiformat hit for the 2011 season at the Milan opera house. The composer is currently artistic director of the Arena in Verona.

This is an embarrassment to the species. Assuming we survive, they are going to look back at this period and wonder what the hell went wrong.
