Just saw "An Inconvenient Truth" - wow. Just wow.
I'ld vote for Al Gore all over again in a heartbeat! This movie was excellent... I am totally floored!

I read his "Earth in the Balance" when it first came out but this presentation - fantastic!

1. He's the right person at the right time
To deliver the right message we all need to hear. It helps that the science community has come out and given high marks to the film all the way around.

I don't know which part was more upsetting - anything to do with the dying animals - or the segment on the Florida recount. I hated to re-live that all over again.

Great film!

2. I was impressed with how well the science was explained.
It was easy enough for anybody to understand, yet very effective.

3. Saw it last night
My daughter and I were floored. I'd vote for him again too. BTW, Tom Brokaw did a segment on NBC news this evening about global warming and there's a special coming up Sunday night on Discover or TLC... I'll see what I can find.

5. I was lucky enough to see the movie and then
enjoy a question and answer session with Al Gore in person a couple of weeks ago! He walked in after the movie and got such a tremendous standing ovation from the crowd! What an impressive man. Of course I voted for him in 2000...but I had no idea of his depth, intelligence and caring. I hope he runs again.

6. Glad you saw it!
If he was President, we already would have been making progress on turning the corner. Now, time is very short. These summers are getting tropical almost, and I'm in PA.
