Al Gore snubs Thailand visit

(BangkokPost.com) – Al Gore has canceled a scheduled appearance in Bangkok to give a talk on global warming scheduled for next month due to workload.

The former US Vice President was originally scheduled to arrive in the capital on August 8 but his representatives have now confirmed that the event will not be taking place due to Gore’s heavy workload.

Gore had earlier accepted an invitation from the Pacific Basin Economic Council (PBEC), an independent business association that links economies of the Asia-Pacific region to come to Thailand to talk about global warming.

Ever since the 2000 election which he lost to President George W Bush, Gore has been channeling his energy on saving the planet from irrevocable change through global warming. His documentary on this topic, “An Inconvenient Truth”, gained worldwide popularity and won an Oscar for Best Documentary in February this year.

I'm sure "snubs" is not really accurate here. He would not hesitate to speak to anyone anywhere, but there is only one of him. I'm sure it will be rescheduled as soon as possible. I'm sure his schedule is grueling!!

Al Gore does more before breakfast than most of us do all day (week, month, year?) long!!

He probably does more in his sleep than some do all year! lol

I agree snubs is wrong but it is the title of the printed article.

For those of us looking for a sign Gore is going to be seriously considering a return to politics this is not all bad news ;)

All good points, totally agree. Too bad "there is only one of him." :D

I know, al001. I was only commenting on their pitifully poor choice of words. They love to do that to Al: use words with negative connotations as an eye-catcher in headlines. It ticks us off and turns "them" on.
I hate it when they do that! :mad:
