How many people watched the the new Al Gore movie - The Inconvenient Truth?

Answer 1

I didn't because the first thing I saw in the trailer was Al Gore driving around the country in a huge gas guzzling, air polluting motorhome preaching to us I found it somewhat two-faced.

Answer 2

GLOBAL WARMING/THE ENVIRONMENT IN GENERAL

Any and I mean any environmental cause or approach must be grassroots in nature. Having PhD's talk about global warming and having those representing industry interests debunk these present theories is a high level and almost an entirely futile effort. Don't get me wrong, it is great that someone with Al Gore's connections and exposure is getting the word out. However, people are people they want to see results.

Yes, the expression is now trite but still true, "Thing Globally, Act Locally". Watching the sky over a city, town or even a more rural area become darkened by smog has local impact, people take note and actually see A PROBLEM. A problem that can measured in terms of air quality or perhaps an AIR QUALITY HEALTH INDEX like the one that the provincial government in Ontario, Canada is in the process of implementing. You can measure results (however small) in terms of air quality and the affect it has on the health care system (those with breathing problems, doctor's visits, etc). It certainly speaks to the advantage of a UNIVERSAL health care system (however, actually implemented) as it actually makes sense to improve the environment as it keeps people healthy (a humanitarian cause) and when health care it publicly funded it affects the public coffers when people become ill therefore it even makes better financial sense to keep the environment a top priority.

Plus any approach must be entire with a complete overall plan (the big picture). Including recycling initiatives, energy solutions (alternatives/renewables can now present a real potential financial threat to the big oil companies and even power companies...), government involvement at all levels, public transit, greener vehicles in general (Hybrid, Hydrogen, Conventional electric, bio-diesel, ethanol), conservation in all energy arenas, ETC!

Economic viability is the real sell as many of these solutions are just that economically sensible (ensuring we look at the entire picture). Yes as more people use solar, wind and other renewable energy sources the cheaper the technology will get. Two of the newest billionaires have earned a large portion through renewables Solar (India I believe) and Wind (China I believe). Yes in many ways developing nations and economies will be the first and early adopters of such renewable tech as they are just building much of their infrastructure.

So what do we all need to do? GET INVOLVED ! Contact your local government about improving your recycling program, contact provincial/state/federal government about the adopting of these new technologies (renewables such as solar/wind), buy gas with ethanol in it and demand it, use and demand bio diesel, buy products with less packaging and demand manufacturers to reduce packaging and to offer a price break as a result. More ECONOMIC VIABILITY! After all energy diversity just like economic diversity is the safest and best bet for good long term results and return on investment.

KEEP IT UP MR. GORE THE POLAR BEARS NEED YOU FIRST **GRIN**.

Answer 3

thanks to have an open suggestions!! Why do not you carry out somewhat analyze and locate out who's funding the competition to the info surrounding international warming? you'll locate it truly is an similar wealthy adult males who do not pick their grasping business enterprise practices hindered ie;oil marketplace exec's etc who make the many of the ongoing use of their product and do not want a small ingredient like the damage their product produces to inflict damage on the base line-earnings!! this isn't about Al Gore, it truly is about scientists international huge attempting to artwork on suggestions and monitoring of those warming traits and the perfect result to human beings everywhere. carry out somewhat analyze. As a youthful individual you'd be saddled with the accurate result for longer than maximum.

Answer 4

Wouldn't even bother. It's all lies or half truths. Most respectable scientists don't believe in global warming. The Earth warms and cools naturally. If it didn't warm, we'd still be in the Ice Age. And I bet Al Didn't bother to mention that the reason he and his family are so wealthy is that they made their money from owning Occidental Petroleum and producing tobacco--two of the biggest pollutants there are.

Answer 5

Yes, I don't completely accept Al Gore's view of the future either, although I haven't seen the film. Tell me when it comes out of DVD.

Answer 6

The documentary was inspired, well scripted, very accurate and factual as well as boring, like democratic campaign platforms and strategies. I like Al Gore as well as many other centre-left thinkers but to play BALL like the Republicans do, you have to deliver your pitch with fire in your eyes like all those right-wing folks. A fire that resembles the freedom of humanity and not the flames of war. Say it like it pisses you off!

Answer 7

If there is opposing evidence to global warming I'd like to see it.
I mean I dare you to back it up that it's not happening because of human production.

I buy global warming, I don't have to see the movie. It's patently obvious if you look for 1/2 a second between temperature and CO2 graphs.

Answer 8

3 loons, Al his loony self, his loony wife, and their loony daughter.

Answer 9

i'd like to see it but it is not playing in theaters here in Japan.

Answer 10

When did it come on?
