An Inconvenient Truth
Inlander:
Man I seriously don't care whether it's just preaching to the converted, or all a cynical attempt by Al Gore to get back into politics, or what. The reason this planet's going to shit is because everyone's too busy sniping at each other for unbelievably petty reasons to get off their arses and actually do something. Right now I'm ready to support anything that says "LISTEN PEOPLE! YOU'VE GOT TO REALLY SERIOUSLY START THE FUCK WORRYING ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING!" Because we've gotta get that message through somehow, and it's sure as not gonna be done by keeping our mouth shut.
As for whether global warming is man-made or just part of the natural cycle: in science there's a thing called the precautionary principle. Basically you assume the worst and act accordingly, because if you assume the best and you're wrong then you're royally screwed.

--- Quote from: Ozymandias ---Without getting into what I think about global warming, I'll just say why I hate the movie:
Jus tlike with Fahrenheit 9-11, the only people who will watch the movie are the people who already agree with it. It's nothing but a political ploy for Mr. Gore to get his name out there again. And that's pretty goddamned lame.

Have you seen it or read the book?
The man is genuinely concerned and has repeatedly said he has no desire to get back into politics. The book and the movie aren't about politics, if you had read or seem it you'd know this, it's very much intended to be a piece convincing folks that this is a moral, not a political issue, and to wake up and do something.
Johnny C:
I don't know, man. He's been doing this whole "Climate-Change" hurly-burly for decades now so I'm pretty sure he's just been plotting this whole time.
Kai:
I'm telling you! communist plot. Al Gore is in with the communists.

The caps are what the movie is about. Oh, and he disproves the "it's just a cycle" crap that's being spewed. Oh, and you know how people used to say that there were discrepancies with early scientific reports?
Hah. Think the number 0 for the percent of Global Warming denial.
Wait a sec.
Global Warming. George W. GW. GW.
