It takes a charismatic leader to take the message to the masses... Frankly, there is so much info out there it can be disorienting, which is why when someone pulls the threads together (so what if its a powerpoint?) it works.

Global warming is a theory... it's the presenting of the theory as fact which bugs me a little. By the way, the Big Freeze effect is also part of the global warming theory. It was touched on in the film. I do encourage you to watch it. We should at least listen to what "the other side" has to say in order to form a more intelligent opinion. Nyx, Wow... I would like to convert some of my presentations into movies. Now anybody who could do that for me dirt cheap? ;) kucau, Yes it's as real as theories can get. How you analyse such theories is entirely up to you :) Chewyx has his opinions on the issue, you have yours, and likewise I have mine. Chewyx,

Virtually inexistant, but exploited by the media... just like shark attacks Oh, and there is the “peak oil” threat too. Virtually inexistant, but exploited by the media… just like shark attacks

I have the datas. Our "global" temperature rise... is an illusion. Being part of a bigger picture, they are mere fluctuations. Do read up on chaos theory, or do at least get some real hard data, before actually calling people nuts. Studying the weather using basic chem and physics - that's where most people are misled. "Common sense"... bleh. John Kenneth Galbraith called all these views as conventional wisdom. It's just because we "...associate truth with convenience." Global warming is a convenient excuse for met scientists to explain why the world is seemingly getting warmer. But if you actually bothered to read real scientific journals, there are hundreds and thousands of articles with proper data citations that Global Warming is not happening. Global warming as much as a threat as global terrorism. It's not as threatening as say a heart attack, or a car accident. Live with it. Kucau, I am, most unfortunately, not “nuts”. I have the datas.

An Inconvenient Truth is actually a presentation. He goes around the world talking about it, then decided to film himself presenting it. hence the powerpoint angle. um.

The world is actually heading towards a Big Freeze, but the media is constantly hyping on the warming. Sigh I think global warming is more of a media hype than an actual thing.

You don't get that with the Discovery Channel or Naional Geographic. Al Gore pretty much takes the efforts mainstream.
