Here's the thing about juding a film by its reviews instead of seeing it: things are taken out of context.

The context was: compared to the United States, China is on the cutting edge of environmentalism.

Which is true. As it is currently scheduled, by 2011 California emissions standards will have reached what China's emissions standards currently are today. And that's just California. Not the other 49 states. Most or all of them don't even HAVE an emissions policy.

I'm not saying the man is Churchill, but someday when the ignorance-is-bliss crowd is forced to acknowledge the problem, Al Gore will have been on record since the 1970s trying to address it.
