Gore is speaking right now, about the environment. He was a surprise guest, though word started leaking out late last night. I’m sure the entire speech will be posted online shortly, but for right now here’s the standing ovation he got on entering the hall. It was kind of cute, Pelosi was on stage taking questions from the audience, and she started reading a letter she said she’d received about climate change. In the middle of the letter you heard Al Gore’s voice reading the letter. I suspect some people thought it was a recording, until Gore appeared on stage. This video captures that moment. It’s good to see Gore again.
And before the video, here’s a panoramic photo of the room while Gore is speaking. See larger, and largest, versions here.
And here’s the video of Gore’s surprise:
