Actually I was not sure if the film was about Al Gore or the subject of global warming. I received a link of some political activist group to sign for a pledge to see the film. It opened these days so I went. It is about the problematic of global warming in a lecture given by Al Gore. He is obviously since the nineties, for more than ten years, on the road worldwide trying to reach people in this complex matter. My first thought was yes, I can somehow see the point why people rather vote for Bush than Gore. Or in other words: I was surprised he almost reached his goal. But on the other hand it is very impressing how he restlessly travels the world to explain, again and again, why it is already almost too late to spend some serious thoughts about global warming. Although it\u2019s obvious than this is the far bigger threat than terrorist attacks, it\u2019s also needless to say why people easier relate to the latter. Politics is a dirty game, again, second thought. How can you possibly think of the Bush Administration doing something serious towards the problem of global warning? The reality mentioned in Al Gores lecture: The secretary who took over the job as Bush\u2019s environmental advisor for the White House has a background in the oil industry, Exxon Mobile I think, and no scientific experience of the issue. He failed terribly, or nobody took him seriously, and he went back to where he came from. Or, California enforced stricter norms for the energy efficiency of cars \u2013 and was sued by the car industry\u2026Well, I am happy I am riding a bicycle.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A documentary about the devastating danger of global warming.
