We watched An Inconvenient Truth a few days ago. While I have to credit Al Gore with a wonderful speaking ability, I'm really not a member of his fan club. I thought the movie was interesting, but it certainly didn't convince me of anything. I know the power of numbers and graphs and how easy it is to bend them to show (or distort) exactly what you want. That's about all Al did the whole time. I didn't come away with any profound truth or discovery that will change my life. If you liked that movie, you might also like to read about global dimming.
Part of my problem with the environmental battle is my awareness that there's a whole lot I don't know on both sides. I'd want to read it and examine the sources and their funding myself before I really take a stand one way or the other. Sorry, but I don't put a whole ton of faith in the views expressed by lifelong politician in a major motion picture.
