The upcoming film on my "want to see" list is the Al Gore doc. Freaking tree hugger I am.

I'm thinking of easing over to Phoenix and taking Leo. You should come.

Hey - we could even invite Al Gore! I'm sure he'd hop right on a fuel guzzling carbon buring plane to get here and then take a multi car entourage from the airport to the theatre, and then do the same thing going back to where he started.

Moan moan moan and you shouldn't be so mean to Al Gore.

If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to talk like this.

Al Gore reminds me of George Orwell's Animal Farm.

This guy was being interviewed today on some NPR show (don't ask me whih one) and he kept using the word "Authentic" over and over to describe Al Gore. I was trying to WILL him to shut up. If you have to call someone authentic over and over they are not very authentic. Authenticity should be self evident, don't you think?

What am I, chopped liver? I live in Phoenix (ok, Phoenix metro).

If you do watch it, be aware that apparently he presents a completely out-of-leftfield figure for how much the sea level is calculated to rise by 2100 (20 feet when the consensus worst-case estimate is 35 inches).

Otherwise the skeptical environment scientist (in the "global warming is happening, but he's skeptical as to how much it is a result of human activity" camp) I know felt the numbers presented were reasonably accurate even if he differed in the final conclusions.

I just have this picture of "The Day After Tomorrow" in my head when thinking about the Gore flick.
