Cheers Ustwo, I knew posting here would get some reference to counter what was stated in the film.

I still however strongly believe in the intention of the film and although I had doubts as to how close to disaster we actually were, It was interesting to have all the facts and half truths I have heard put into a context and showing how they relate to each other.

I do feel that it comes down to a degree of common sense, every fact Al Gore states someone can find some fact or scientist to counter it or throw doubt on it, however - as a whole I think our effect on the environment is becoming more obvious and this film helps to push a necessary awareness.

I see no reason why I should give this et al

more credence than the facts layed out in the film - I also believed in the sincerity of Gore (even though he is a politician) and would be interested to see any opinions on what he would gain if this were just environmental propoganda?
