LIVE from Town Hall: Al Gore gets huge welcome
I'm now live at Town Hall blogging Al Gore's Assault on Reason presentation. The former Vice President has just walked out on stage to a massive standing ovation which he clearly appreciated. Gore held his hand over his heart, smiling and thanking the audience once he had a chance to speak.
Gore kicked off his talk with a few jokes, and then began talking about his efforts to "tell the story of the climate crisis."
"I was convinced long ago that the evidence was overwhelming," he said of global warming. "I was raised with a belief that sooner or later truth will come riding to the rescue," he added. "That hasn't happened with the climate crisis. Why not?"
"The idea that truth is relevant...the idea that one can create one's own reality...I don't understand it philosophically, but it's just wrong."
More from Town Hall shortly...stay tuned...
