AL GORE'S global-warming documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," is sure to get an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary, but Gore should campaign for Best Actor, too.
Avoiding the usual vein-popping diatribes, he comes across as learned, calm and folksy. But much of what Gore says in this slide show he gives to people whose minds are not yet fully formed (undergraduates, actors) is absurd...
He implies that no reputable scientists dispute anything he says... But there is wide disagreement about whether humans are causing global warming...
His implication that he is our only hope - every ticket bought for this movie amounts to a soft-money contribution to his 2008 campaign - is ridiculous. He and his friends were in charge for eight years...
He assesses the tradeoff between the economy and the environment with the kind of buffoonery you'd expect in a Marxist comic book, displaying a cartoon of a scale with Earth on one side and bars of gold on the other. "OK, on one side we have gold bars," he says. "Mmm, mmm, don't they look good!"
Gore says that America, alone, is the problem. Taking us to China, he ignores the filth spewed into the air by its coal-fired cities. He does not meet with bronchitic citizens who wear surgical masks outdoors and pause to hawk up brown gunk every few minutes. Instead, he tells us America is lagging behind. "China," he says, "is on the cutting edge" of environmentalism. Nonsense.
Gore is a dangerous evangelist for whom all roads lead to his sole, holy revelation… The man's shamelessness is astounding when he compares himself to Churchill, but that's not the worst of it. The final shot of Gore shows him bravely silhouetted against the cosmos, a lone figure tenderly surveying the firmament.

God?
No wonder the earth is warming. Al Gore had its clouds removed for the photo op, much as he had a dam release water just for a photo op of him canoeing.
How did this idiot invent the Internet?
I thought the caption would be, "Behold...my latest invention...the incandescent light bulb!"
Unfortunately, got caught watching the previews while attending another movie - Think I'll skip this pig - almost hurled just watching the preview
Wonder how many additional EPA pollution violations he's accrued with that lead mine on his family farm in Tennessee?
Ward Churchill?
LOL
and second generation big time $'s coming in from Occidental Oil -
I'd say two-faced, but the mental picture of two gore faces to look at are too much for the mind - or stomach
