There's really not a debate. The debate is over. The scientific community has reached as strong a consensus as you will ever find in science.

That's not how science works Alice, it draws its respectability from the fact that it rejects "voting" on what is factual and what isn't. Unfortunately, that seems to be going by the wayside on a few issues.

Al Gore as actor and comedian? Apparently I fell asleep and woke up in Bizarro World.

I have to spend eight hours in a car with a Gore loving liberal in a few weeks. I was hoping to find a bunch of Gore sound bites to burn to a disc to play for her but after a dogpile search I turned up nothing. Anyone got any ideas where I might find them?

Does this mean that Hillary is about to take it in the shorts? Everyone is in love with Al now?

Clip from Review --the First Night: An Inconvenient Truth, New York

Al Gore's global warming film lacks a little electricity
By David Usborne

-- show time at the Sunshine Cinema for the opening night of Al Gore's call to arms for saving the planet from global warming, An Inconvenient Truth. Only the front row had seats and my neck soon ached, states Usborne, from tracing the trajectories of the former vice-president's graphs.

The aptly named Sunshine is in Manhattan's East Village

There is a large constituency in the US that will not consider seeing this film because they accept the usual clichés that global warming is a political ploy of the liberal left and has no real scientific foundation and that Gore, the wooden man, is incapable of passion.

If you are in the camp that accepts global warming is a problem, it is awkward to admit that Gore is tedious. Just why he manages to be such a snooze is hard exactly to explain. He jokes, his syntax is fine, he smiles, but his ultra-worthiness could smother a forest fire.

Maybe Guggenheim should take the blame for squandering the opportunity he had. Gore presents his case perfectly well but I left wondering why so much of the film was just a broadcast of his standard lecture.

I wanted a little tension and electricity and we might even have seen it if the alternative views on global warming had been explored and if we had seen the proponents of that view - whether oil men or Republicans - challenging Gore on screen.
