I watched [B]An Inconvenient Truth[/B] today and was quite impressed. I had actually read the book that was put out with the movie last summer (it has pictures of all the slides from the movie) but was missing out on the full emotional impact of the presentation by Al Gore.
I think Gore is a smart, witty guy who is the perfect face of this movement to literally save the world. The facts are indisputable and resistance to the truth is just costing us our future as we burn both ends of our environmental candle. I was quite sad while watching this film as I looked back to the 2000 election with a burning "What if?" richoceting around my mind. What if we had chosen wisely. Would we be in this mess right now?
But....enough of that....
On a funny/scary side note some schools (I won't say where as to not offend the idiots that might be from that region) are banning the DVD from being played for their kids. Much like "the theory" of evolution, they believe this documentary is the devils work. Here is a statement from a concerned parent:

"Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher," said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who also said that he believes the Earth is 14,000 years old. "The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is. ... The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD."[/quote]
You can't make this stuff up!
