Al Gore, illusionist

I saw an Inconvenient Truth, as it was highly rated by some. Well, it's full of charts and other visuals, which are neat, but the documentary, as it were, is choppy and sloppy. I liken Gore to an illusionist drawing your attention to over dramatic scenes and with graphs, that at one point in time, "there are many factors", but never goes into detail. There was an audience in the movie who were captivated by this Tennessee lawyer who confounds and baffles with visuals.

I would not recommend this movie, as it lacks fluidity and tries to look authentic with visuals. The only clear statement that is incontrovertible is that CO2 emissions will increase over the next decades. How much and how this will effect the environment is not so clear. Nations like China and India will be entering the cycle the US did in coal use and greater vehicle use. The thing touched was change -- toxifying the Earth with chemicals -- that is fact. At no time before industry did the Mississippi burn.

At no time did the ocean hold syringes until industries were allowed to dump trash in the ocean. We are consuming the toxins which we poorly dispose. If we dump waste into water that animals consume, it comes back to us. There is our problem. The CO2 and ozone are hot topics, but what happens is pure conjecture.
