An Inconvenient Truth

For those who haven't seen the movie, I recommend that you watch it here.

It is compelling and shocking. A couple of points.

1) That the US has lower emission standards than China, or any other developed nation is embarrassing and stupid. The weak laws may have caused complacency in Detroit and exacerbated the decline of US automakers relative to Japan.

2) The pictures of melting in Greenland and Antartica, followed by models of flooding around the world (20ft) are powerful.

3) The comparison of Big Tabacco media denials with those of Big Oil make me even more concerned that Mr. Gore is correct.

This is more than just an incovenient truth.
