I did really like the movie
A fine Piece of Celluloid
This was a great film that did enlighten many people of the problems plaguing the environment we live in. We watched the movie in my Environmental Science class one day, and I must say, I cried while watching it. It was sad to see how drastically we have been influencing our world in such a negative way.
After seeing the movie, I decided to buy it, and did so to support the cause.
I have since tried my best to participate in all the world saving green movements, but I do think it has turned into a trend rather than a real attempt to make a positive difference.
Barry's Response - These comments refer to
An Inconvenient Truth. The problem with a trend is it becomes
yesterday's global warming fad. And this one may have already.
The science remains. Even if global warming turns out to be a minor issue, other facts support
doing environmentally friendly things the GW crowd has recommended time and time again, for other, equally valid (or even more so) reasons.

It's not necessary for a logical policymaker to oppose the statement outright.
It might be interesting to discuss this message with him if your stance on environmental issues has traditionally been more conservative, emphasizing market-based solutions.
I might appreciate the film's impact on raising awareness about environmental issues if I were responding to this statement. However, you might argue that addressing these issues requires a balanced approach that takes into account economic factors, job creation, and technological innovation.
The best statements would promote policies that foster environmental stewardship and economic growth at the same time.
A lot of environmental problems can be solved with private-sector initiatives and technological advancements.In essence, I agree with environmental awareness, but advocate for a more conservative approach to finding solutions.
