 Former Vice President Al Gore will provide testimony to Congress on climate change, The Politico is reporting.
Gore will "testify next month in a congressional hearing on the highly controversial issue of climate change," writes Ryan Grim.
The House Energy and Commerce committee will host the hearing, and Gore is set to testify on Wednesday, March 21, according to Grim.
"For people who make a parlor game of guessing Gore's intentions for 2008," Grim says, "the appearance will surely stoke speculation that he may yet be a late entrant into the Democratic presidential derby."
Donna Brazile, who was Gore's campaign manager in 2000, strongly hinted at a recent speaking engagement that Gore could make a "dramatic entrance into the 2008 presidential race" at the Academy Awards next month. "Wait till Oscar night," she told a small audience at Moravian College in Pennsylvania.
Gore's film on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth, has been nominated for an Academy Award for best documentary feature.
