Al Gore’s ” An Inconvenient Truth”
I saw this film last evening and I have to say it was quite good. It easily surpassed my expectations in terms of information and entertainment. Gore’s presentation is seamlessly integrated into the other parts of the film to create a cohesive narrative. It’s a shame this guy isn’t president right now as this is the kind of leadership the country needs at this point. We have dinosaurs in office now, and Gore has a much more “up to date” leadership outlook.Without question I would like to see Gore campaign in 2008.
And as we know, he nailed the science as well:
For the most part, I think Gore gets the science right, just as he did in Earth in the Balance. The small errors don’t detract from Gore’s main point, which is that we in the United States have the technological and institutional ability to have a significant impact on the future trajectory of climate change. This is not entirely a scientific issue — indeed, Gore repeatedly makes the point that it is a moral issue — but Gore draws heavily on Pacala and Socolow’s recent work to show that the technology is there (see Science 305, p. 968 Stabilization Wedges: Solving the Climate Problem for the Next 50 Years with Current Technologies).
