It looks like this thread is over. Before we go though, here’s a relevant story to remind us just why Gore’s movie is so important: Doomsday Clock moves closer to midnight

Stephen W. Hawking, the renowned cosmologist and mathematician, told The Associated Press that global warming has eclipsed other threats to the planet, such as terrorism.
“Terror only kills hundreds or thousands of people,” Hawking said. “Global warming could kill millions. We should have a war on global warming rather than the war on terror.”
This is the first time the bulletin has explicitly addressed the threat from climate change.
“We are transforming, even ravaging the entire biosphere. These environmentally driven threats – threats without enemies – should loom as large as did the East-West divide during the Cold War era,” said Martin Rees, president of the Royal Society, Britain’s academy of science.
“Unless they rise higher on international agendas, remedial action may come too late,” he added.
