Ah, but though he may not live in Milan, there is one out there who can craft a three act opera based on the Al Gore oeuvre, and that man is Bob The Ape. He presents a libretto for An Inconvenient Tragedy in three acts. If you have any doubt whether you should go read all of it, and believe me that you should, merely consult the cast list:

MrsDarwin and I have been going about the house saying "Oscar, a golem" to each other since last night. And so, following upon St. Augustine, I must enjoin you to take and read.
