94 minute campaign commerical for Al Gore presents arguments for man-made global warming but never bothers to tie them together. Problems range from the obvious narcissim (Gore as savior of the world) to the bogus assertions (the gutting of our industrial base as beneficial to our economy) to the outright sloppy (failing to explain what the Kyoto Protocol is, failure to produce a real smoking gun) to the dishonest (Reagan & Bush Sr. as part of the global warming problem while ignoring the Clinton administration) to the convenient (neglecting to tell his audience what they would have to give up to satisfy his radical agenda, neglecting to mention how many people could REALLY even survive without our great energy expenditure). And after blaming Republicans for all of the world's problems (very insightful), he then goes on to claim this is a non-partisian problem. All this from a guy who uses more than 20 times the power a year I do, and not all on green campaigning, as his defenders weakly assert. If global warming is as serious a threat as Gore suggests, we deserve a better film than this.
