However, he said that a good portion of this movie is based on fact. Oh, based upon what I have seen so far, it is... Disjointed, misapplied, occassionally Clintonesquely stated facts. He appears to have simply made up far less than his previous book. Doesn't mean he's right.

An assessment of the likely increase of CO2 in the atmosphere due to climate change and if the Amazon Rainforest ceases to be a CO2 sink. Except that the Amazon rain-forest seems fairly carbon neutral, and the discounted temperate forests are the ones eating large amounts of Carbon.
And then there's the oceans...

What frightens me is the probability that Al Gore himself believes the hype he's trying to sell. Those who've watched him give his PowerPoint presentation and have discussed it with him say he does. He's changed his language some since 1992, but a careful listening to the linguistics of his discussions of each his environmental views, and his religious beliefs show very Gaiaist foundations. I'm quite convinced he believes it to his very core. It's religious zeal.

According to the latest internet tracking of box office stats., the movie has been out there for five weeks and up to last Sunday nights gate receipts it had grossed $9.6 million.
Given that the movie was probably put together from old news reel films of hurricanes and ice bergs spliced together with a voice over by the Gorebot, it stands to reason he's going to clean up.

Well, I merely passed this along; the Rain Forest nee Jungle is totemic in environmental circles and often factors heavily in all emotionally-laden discussions and polemics.

The guy that wrote this article for the AP is very weird. He isn't listed as a correspondent but his email shows he is in the
http://www.krwashington.com/ domain.
krwashington is the link to the McClatchy Washington Bureau News Service.
You may be able to search for his email address, but I am told it is screened.
What would be more interesting is to contact this news service and find out who this guy is.
An interesting fact about the AP is, if you work at a newspaper/service, you are allowed to submit stories to the AP even if you are a nobody. You can go in AP.org and register as a news submitter.
Could it be, this is a complete bogus story that is just getting picked up as a real story?
Does this guy just mix truth with fiction enough to confuse whether he is being honest and to keep his creditals in submitting ap stories?
Oh, McClatchy owns Knight Ridder now.
