...a movie starring Al Gore, believe it or not.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'P')ARK CITY, Utah - Has ever a little indie film faced a greater hurdle? Imagine this sales pitch: Babe, it's a movie about global warming. Starring Al Gore. Doing a slide show.

With charts.

About "soil evaporation."

Improbable? Perhaps. So it's all the more amazing that "An Inconvenient Truth" had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday night before an enthusiastic audience that gave the former vice president and his movie a big standing O.

Leanan, Google Al Gore and the Nuclear industry. I'm sorry. It hurts me too. Even when politicians are doing something right, they're doing something wrong.

I haven't made up my mind about nuclear power. It's probably the best solution to our energy problems, but there certainly are drawbacks.

I have a feeling we won't have a choice, though. I think we'll go nuclear, in a big way. Everyone will. Trying to keep nuclear power out of the hands of countries like Iran will seem downright inhumane in the future.

If I had the strong conviction that nucloear energy was the only way that humanity could save itself, I think I might invest in the darn thing myself; wouldn't you?

Global warming, Al Gore, slide show. Top of my must see list.

I came back here when I saw the trailer just to post the link but see Ive been beaten to it.

The trailer looks interesting to say the least. I dont know if it will tell me much more new than "I think" I know but if it appears here Ill look it up.

It may be dull graphs or a slideshow presentation , but it may be one of the most important presentations ever !!

I like Mr Gores Intro ..... "I used to be The Next President of the United States" and the Patagonian Glacier before/after picture was a jaw dropper , wasnt it !

Hell yes ! I mean that one !! AAaaaarrrrghhhh , where did it all go ?!?!

Ok so its easy to just sit back and say , well , it got warmer and it all melted , but like with all the other before/after photos Ive ever seen , its still like "whaaa !"

That amount of ice , it would taken a while to form it all and over a iddy biddy part of our history weve basically burnt our way through a whole load of it !

Ive come to the conclusion that in my life time the world will never be as it once was and that much of the worlds wonders will be gone or have already gone before Ive had a chance to really see them.

What have we done !
