An Inconvenient Truth - Reaction

The important documentary about Al Gore and his quest to make everyone understand the perils of and reality of climate change. Interspersed lecture and personal narrative prevent the former from getting too overwhelming; this was useful, though I found the transitions sometimes slightly clumsy/unnatural. Al Gore is a good lecturer with powerful visual aids (e.g., graphs, pictures of natural wonders). While some of the data I would question, the part I would question is different from the part other people would question, and it's clear which way the preponderance of the evidence is pointing.
