Movie Review

Yes, I usually wait for the video releases, being a lazy cheap ass.
So my daughters went out to rent a few movies last night and brought home Al Gore!
My youngest L. , insisted that I watch it with them because " Q needs to know this stuff for his blog".

The movie was excellent. Although he's preaching to the choir in my home and probably most others that would rent this, Gore is genuine, intelligent and compelling. There was no preachy pedantic stuff, just sincere articulate concern.

The title is great, conveying the reason why many still ignore this irrefutable science. They know that once the problem is acknowledged that they would feel compelled morally to act differently.

At the end of the movie we were all left with two inconvenient truths. One, that the movie conveyed about ignoring global warming. The second, that the difference between Gore and Bush has never been more stark. More like Greek tragedy level of stark. My favorite play write Sophocles could never have envisioned anything this horrific. The intelligent, principled articulate Gore could have been president, while the dishonest, sociopathic, stupid, inarticulate moron Bush became President twice, while the world desperately needed the first guy to resolve ephocal problems.
Today a large ice shelf separated in the Arctic. Gore points out that all of these events are predicted by scientists just as they predicted the New Orleans levees failing. The problem and solutions are already known, we simply have to demand action from our leaders who appear to be in denial , with the clock running out.
