I Loved It

Watching An Inconvenient Truth was a deeply moving experience for me. Although I was already aware of global warming, I had no idea that conditions were as severe as Gore so vividly illustrates. All of us must keep pressuring our elected representatives to begin working on this problem in earnest--no more empty diplomatic gestures that come to nothing!

Barry's Response - Al Gore presented many ideas that students of environmental science, such as I, were already familiar with. The general public got their turn with this film and, therefore, it was a great service to society. Good on him.

Fancy lecture and graphical presentations aside, Gore aimed to present data. Real data with a real significance. We all know the message to some degree. Anthropogenic pollution, as he sees it, has resulted in more rapid wide scale environmental change than the scientific community knows about over thousands, even millions, of years. We, as a world, are to take that into stride when making future decisions.
