So John, help me out here.

I saw the film. I read your critical observations above.

I am a layman, but I have thought critically about both your comments and the film. I have no idea why I should believe your science over that in Gore's film.

That said it seems to me quite incredible to argue against the central message of the film - for reasons I have set out above.

I may incidentally have exaggerated the number of "500" scientific papers. (I cannot recollect how many there actually where - but it was a lot.) There is the specific passage in the film where he throws up some slides of all of the scientific papers on topic that have been published - and ALL of these support his thesis. I cannot believe this is 100% BS.

I don't accept every statistic in the film as "true". I don't have any basis for doing so. But I entirely accept the central message of the film as true and important viz. that the rapid industrialization of the last century has had a significant negative impact on climate and environment - and it is time that we focus on reducing that impact.
