Saw the movie, I do my part and try not to waste electricity etc, and I drive a fit. Maybe this will stir some more interest in climate change, because I agree that it is happening.

I saw his film as well. It's quite a wakeup. If anyone deserves the prize, he does.

His movie was good, inspired people to change. One thing I didn't like was there was a lot of scewed information in it. He should be nominated for Oscars, not a Nobel prize.

I also heard Al-Gore lives in a huge castle of a mansion and his carbon footprint is something like 40 times the size of normal people. So to curb this, he buys carbon credits from his OWN company.... credits which are bought from 3d world countries that apparently free up these extra carbon credits to sell by shooting local farmers..... nice huh?

Anyway, I am glad he brought attention to the subject and even if he is using scewed information to convince the world the apocalypse is on the horizon... which I suppose that is ok considering people won't change unless they are faced with something of that magnitude.

Although his movie had many wrong statistics and stuff, its more than just a movie. An Inconvenient truth represents the revitalization of the environmental movement in the US.
