Is it a good movie? Would you recommend seeing it?

I have seen it. The only reason that I recommend it is because I don't know of a good movie on the topic.
Too much of this movie is about Al Gore. Very little - less than a minute - is spent discussing solutions.
I hope that there will be a better documentry on the subject soon, made by someone who can explain the science in layman's terms without getting into politics.
Carl Sagan, you are missed.
I would recommend a book - The Sea Around Us, by Rachel Carson. Even though this book was written 50 years ago, the science is explained well and covers many topics relevant today. While this book was not about global warming, it is a great introduction to the interactions between the climate and the ocean. She does touch on El Nino and the warming of the Gulf Stream, both of which have become major problems since her book was written.

Would I believe anything that the Internet inventor says any way well no. I will not say that global warming is not happening (because it has in the past before man was here to cause it) or that we are not making some impact on the speed with which it is happening but the whole paranoia that is being spread is ridiculous. First look at how fast it is occurring ( they say about 1 degree in the last 100 years if I remember correctly) and then look at the fact that they were predicting the return of the ice age just 20 or so years ago. The whole climate change propaganda is just being used as a political plattform and therefore they are trying to make it bigger than it really is. I say that the clean up of our enviroment is a good thing but to buy into the man is causing global warming and it will soon kill us crap is silly.

I advise all to see it THEN see "Who Killed The Electric Car" afterward. It gives an insight to what is going on in America in relation to pollution and rule by corporations/politics.
While much of what Gore is on about is real, it is carried to extremes at times. Too much speculation about some items and some of the conclusions a bit extreme but overall, a good idea of what the world faces IF he's correct.
"Who Killed The Electric Car" shows an excellent example of why pollution is rampant and so little being done to curtail it.

Yes, I've seen it, and to me its more like a "Convenient Untruth".
I recommend seeing the movie just so you can see the lengths that Enviro-Scare tacticians like Mr. Gore will go to in an effort to kill our economic stability, and increase our dependance on the Government.
Increased Solar activity is affecting the Earth's iron-nickle core and influencing undersea Volcanism. It's a natural cycle.
No one is denying it, but they certianly are tap-dancing around HOW MUCH it's affecting climate....

The last time Mt. Pinatubo erupted it released more greenhouse gasses than the entirity of Human history.
By all means, see Mr. Gore's movie, then ask yourself why these people are trying to hurt us?

No. I do not believe in anything Al Gore say. Also, I remembered back in the 1970's about the second ice age in the late 80's. This is just a con game.

Off of every post in the US and abroad there is always titty bars, bars, pawn shops and whores. FYI, porno is not allowed in a Muslim country and if a soldier is caught with it (yes it does happen) than they get UCMJ'ed. Alcohol is not allowed either, but that does nto stop soldiers from cooking their own moonshine. I knew a soldier that got a DUI in Kuwait. Anyways, not all soldiers get their entertainment from porno and strip joints! It is almost impossible for a soldier to get with a Muslim whore, because of sex trafficking, most whores are from Napal or Asian countries and Muslim women cannot walk the streets alone without a male relative escorting them.

Just go out and rent it from your local video store, judge for yourself. Its only what? 3-4 bucks to rent a movie?
What one person might find good, the next might not.
Myself-i havent seen it but i have been thinking of renting it to see what its all about.

No, anything by Al Gore is irrelevant and falls into the category of the absurd.

I'll wait till it comes out on betamax. I was going to see it but I'm too busy reading those 70's science magazines warning of the coming ice age.
