GORE'S FILM 'AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH'

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is a documentary film about global warming. However, it is not a story of despair but a rallying cry to protect the one planet we all share, a message former Vice President Al Gore has been expounding for decades. Critics generally agree that Gore's persuasive argument is one whereby we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue - rather, it is the biggest moral challenge facing our global civilization. It is, after all, the only home we have.

I am convinced that global warming is real! It is caused by humans simply going about everyday activities, even the simple act of exhalling emits carbon dioxide (CO2), the most detrimental of the greenhouse gases (GHG). See GHG Chart on Wikipedia. The warming is escalating as the population escalates, and as humans burn more and more fossil fuels, i.e., coal and oil, causing more build up of CO2.

Bottom line about this film? Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly asks," Which way on God's green earth would you want to err?"

Comments anyone? Have you seen this documentary?
