As part of our homeschool curriculum, we have been watching documentaries, and we saw An Inconvenient Truth the other day. It was jarring. We have decided to change our lives as a result. Has anyone else seen this film?

Yea thats a great documentary. There is a lot of contriversy surrounding it, but thats just because Gore presented the information.

I could care less who presents it, whats important is the information that is presented.

As relevant as the information is, I can see why some of the controversy. There are few people who will take notice of someone who is talking the talk, but who refuses to walk the walk.

Controversy is good though, since it stirs up media attention.

I haven’t seen this yet.  When will it be out on DVD, if it isn’t already?

I have heard about it but haven’t had a chance to see it. I am hoping that it will at least be on DVD soon. I am interested in seeing it. I don’t know many who are actually “walking the walk”. Very few people own hybrid cars, consistently recycle, or anything else for that matter. There is no “perfect” spokesman for anything but at least Gore attempted to attention to the matter. Actually more people probably watched it because there was some controversy about it.

You believed his lies?  He doesn’t even practice what he preaches.  He’s a politician!  He has an agenda.  It’s not about truth. 

It’s so unfortunate that this nonsense is used to indoctrinate children.

I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s most definitely on my list of “wanna see”. I like Al Gore, but it seems all “documentaries” these days are skewed or faked or altered in some way. Still, it would be good to watch.

It’s apparent that the seasons are definitely changing—shifting or something. Winter used to start in late November, early December, but this year, it didn’t get going until mid-January, and the cold weather has hung on like crazy, but only longer if you think winter started on time. Instead of December to March, it’s been January to April. And last year spring and summer were both late starting. SOMETHING is going on, but I don’t know what.

This is a documentary that I am looking forward to finally watching, whenever I get the chance. It looks interesting, and spreads a good mention.

As for Al Gore, his political agenda doesn’t matter. Global warming is the key point here.

Has anybody else heard that many parents are upset about the documentary being shown in schools? They would like the video to be shown along with a documentary saying that global warming is not occurring. What is your opinion?
