It seems to me that some here have such a visceral reaction to Gore, the man and politician, that it completely clouds their perception of the very simple message he is trying to deliver.

And bear in mind that the messsage is aimed at the layman - though nothing I have read here at this point seriously inclines me to question the underlying science.

That said - EVEN IF the underlying science is on some points inconclusive on the issues of to what extent greenhouse gases are the cause of global warming - and to what extent the burning of fossil fuels is responsible for those greenhouse gases - even if there is some dispute about the scientific methodology employed here - surely the conclusions are broadly speaking correct.

And surely any film that makes an attempt to bring these complex issues to the attention of a broad lay public should be applauded.

Surely even just initianting a debate about these issues among a broader segment of the public is a good thing.
