  Al Gore Promotes Warming Movie in Cannes

The United States is emerging from a "bubble of unreality" about the 
problem of global warming, former Vice President Al Gore said Saturday 
at the Cannes Film Festival.

Gore was in Cannes to promote the documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," 
which chronicles his efforts to bring the dangers of climate change to 
greater attention.

"I think that up until fairly recently the United States has been in a 
bubble of unreality where global warming is concerned," he said, 
speaking before the Cannes premiere of the film, which debuted at last 
winter's Sundance Film Festival and opens in U.S. theaters Wednesday.

Gore said he believed Americans were ahead of U.S. politicians in their 
thinking about the issue.

"I even believe there is a chance that within the next two years, even 
(President) Bush and (Vice President) Dick Cheney will be forced to 
change their position on this crisis," he said. "One can only attempt 
to create one's own reality for so long. Reality proper has a way of 
insisting itself upon you."
