An Inconvenient Truth

I saw the film on opening night in Toronto back in the spring of 2006. I was impressed by both the brilliance of the documentary as a film, but also the powerful message that Al Gore was trying to communicate in it. There are lots of points to argue, and the polarised politicians and pundits are still arguing while the planet takes a tailspin down the drain.
I had to watch the film 4 times this week as all the Grade 8 Science classes watched it as an introduction to "Water Systems." It is as strong a message now as it was in '06. People who have not seen it should be embarrassed to say so. I recommend that you do. Judge for yourself.
