ANNAPOLIS // It was popcorn time at the Maryland legislature today as House members settled in to watch a global warming documentary to prepare them for bills about the problem this session.
The documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," in which Al Gore urges action to combat global warming and shows pictures of icebergs falling apart, was screened at the first meeting of the House Environmental Matters Committee.

Del. Maggie McIntosh, chairwoman of the committee, said the documentary made such an impression on her that she decided to bring in a popcorn machine and show the film to her committee. The film will also be screened twice next week.
