“Inconvenient Truth” Night

1. Gore’s movie is definitely one I will go see. I’m not sure Gore got the science 100% correct, but I’ll listen to him anyway. I would’ve preferred to be listening to him the last 5+ years, but unfortunately, we got the schmuck instead.

2. If you want to know how accurate the science is, take a look at the realclimate.org critique here:

   The consensus seems to be that yes, overall it is accurate, with nothing misleading or specifically wrong.

3. Oops, -1 reading comprehension, the realclimate article was linked in the original post, Sorry.

4. It’s definitely good that the folks at realclimate.org are debating the science behind the movie and exposing the details that are contentious. It lends credibility to all the issues when we know what parts are right and what parts are iffy.

   There is now a new site dedicated to promoting An Inconvenient Truth by offering to pay for anyone’s movie ticket, while encouring inspired viewers to donate money for the fund. It’s called Share The Truth at http://sharethetruth.us, and there are no strings attached nor is it for profit nor affiliated with any politics.

   I believe as you do that anyone who hasn’t seen it should; so what better way to get more people to see it than to offer free tickets? If the idea seems compelling to you, please consider having a short blurb about sharethetruth.us to get the word out.

   Thank you for your review and also hosting the dinner-and-a-movie outing!
