Al Gore to Speak to Wal-Mart Executives
by Michael Graham Richard, Gatineau, Canada on 07. 7.06
Wal-Mart has asked Al Gore to address its store executives next week during their "quarterly conference on sustainability" (we wonder for how many quarters that conference has been going on). Gore will talk about global warming though it is not clear if he will give the slide presentation that was made into An Inconvenient Truth. Speaking of that movie, Rotten Tomatoes ranks it at an equal 4th of all movie playing in the US with 92%. That rating is based on reviews of the film, not dollar figures. The book version is also doing well at #3 on Amazon's Best Sellers list. ::Wal-Mart Warms to Al Gore via ::ThinkProgress.

gore's position would be more credible if he weren't running for office . . .

editor note: Put yourself in his position. Whatever he says about not running for office (even if it's true), people won't believe him. Should that keep him from action?
Besides, if he really wanted to run, don't you think he'd be tackling more popular and "crowd friendly" topics than global warming? Giving a slideshow about something that most voters don't care about and don't even think exists isn't exactly what most candidates do, and there was absolutely no guarantees that his documentary/lecture movie would do well.
