I would like to discuss the film, An Inconvenient Truth. I rented the film last night, and was quite impressed. Apart from the showmanship and a one-sided display of facts and scientific data, Al Gore did a fine job of instilling in people the sense of urgency needed to realise that this planet is in trouble if nothing more is done about carbon emissions.
The graph that showed emission levels rising to 6(?) times any previous level in the recorded past (5 ice ages worth of data garnered from polar ice and such) was particularly impressive, as was the apparent lack of interest on the part of the government to take any of this seriously and the message that compared his critics to the smoking industry.
I have a new appreciation of Al Gore as a man committed to bring an important message to the Western world.
