VIDEO: Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth Wins Best Documentary
VIDEO: Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth Wins Best Documentary
Tonight, Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth won the Academy Award for Best Documentary. Gore accepted the award, saying, “My fellow Americans, people all over the world — we need to solve the climate crisis. It’s not a political issue. It’s a moral issue. We have everything we need to get started with the possible exception of the will to act. That’s a renewable resource. Let’s renew it.”
Watch it:
Just as they blasted the Grammy-winning Dixie Chicks, conservatives are already claiming that An Inconvenient Truth won tonight simply because Hollywood agrees with Gore’s views.
The truth is, two years ago, global warming was still considered a fringe issue to many. Today, the debate is over — Americans overwhelmingly agree that the climate crisis exists and that we must act now to reverse it. An Inconvenient Truth had a profound impact on how Americans view the issue of global warming. Al Gore deserved this award.
UPDATE: A medley of the other Gore moments at tonight’s Oscars, including his “big announcement”:

Which is very exciting, because I don’t think he’d do that if he weren’t planning to actually run. He’s gonna do it!

Maybe switch 1 or 2 of his homes the “green” power. Always fly commercial. Use public transportation, instead of limos and cabs. Maybe sell his holdings in Oxy Petroleum. You know, the same things Ed Begley(sp?) Jr does, and has been doing for years.
I am happy his movie won, because of the message. I just wish the messenger lived by the message.

I do not have the luxury of public transportation where I live. I use florescent light bulbs. For trips to the conveniance store around the corner, I ride a bike or electric scooter when weather permits.

February 25th, 2007 at 11:37 pmI will make it simple. Jetties that I roved as a child are now awash. The seafront at high tide on the island where I live has advanced about 60 feet inshore in the last ten years and it is not from erosion. Polar bears are drowning in the Arctic. The North Pole is ice free during the summer for the first time in 60 centuries (according to ice bores taken in the last five years). The conifer line in the western United States has retreated about 1200 feet as invasive leafed trees have taken over. England is losing about 700 seaside homes a year to the advancing ocean. Some of these homes were built during the era of the Battle of Hastings(1066).

Good on ya, Robert. Our public transportation is only by the grace of the University and a grant. I hope it continues for the next few years, or I’ll be hoofing it — winter & summer.
February 25th, 2007 at 11:40 pm#36: A documentary should document something, not set out to convince people of an idea.
A good documentary, like a good research paper, makes an argument. I’m thinking here of Hoop Dreams, Grizzly Man, The Thin Blue Line, Super Size Me, Spellbound, and numerous other examples. If you want to see documentaries that don’t make an argument, I’m sure you can find some, but don’t expect them to win any Academy Awards.

Air pollution in our cities is increasing, more and more people are being treated for air-born illnesses. South Korea is going to have a record number of yellow dust days thanks to China’s coal factories. And that will impact here in Japan as well. So how is taking any action a bad thing?

February 25th, 2007 at 11:47 pmLast year, the consensus was that we would have the worst hurricane season ever. In the 70’s, the consensus was that we were experiencing global cooling. At the beginning of the 20th century, the consensus was that if man ever went the speed of sound he’d disintegrate. In the 1800’s, the consensus was that we’d never be able to fly. At the beginning of the 15th century, the consensus was that the world was flat, and the Earth was at the center of the universe.
And now, the consensus is that man is responsible for global warming. What incredible hubris.

Apparently you have not watched “An Inconvenient Truth”. The BIG chart shows empirical evidence. Not the guesses of scientists trying to predict what would happen from an imbalanced earth. All we really know is that the trends are clearly going off the charts and we dont know what will happen next.

February 26th, 2007 at 12:06 am“I will make it simple. Jetties that I roved as a child are now awash. The seafront at high tide on the island where I live has advanced about 60 feet inshore in the last ten years and it is not from erosion. Polar bears are drowning in the Arctic. The North Pole is ice free during the summer for the first time in 60 centuries (according to ice bores taken in the last five years). The conifer line in the western United States has retreated about 1200 feet as invasive leafed trees have taken over. England is losing about 700 seaside homes a year to the advancing ocean. Some of these homes were built during the era of the Battle of Hastings(1066).

The previous ice ages occurred on a natural scale, and it didn’t result in a flooding of fossilized CO2. Those are all scientific terms though, so an underweight Anorexic with facial and brain deformation can’t be expected to understand it.
As for the effects of previous Ice ages, one of them almost destroyed our ancestors. We were down to a few thousand ‘people’ in the world. It’s estimated cause, global warming. If you knew anything about anthropology you would have known that.

How would I know? And why should I care?
We are not talking abbout natural climatic cycles. We have no clue what the cycles are going to be like until they start happening… we do know that CO measured in the air is a good measure for what happens in the worlds tempatures. And the CO measurements are going off the charts… once again the unknown on the scale of something like this can lead to “an equal and opposite reaction” because that is how nature works… the blow back from this change we have made and are making is unnatural… and the alternative is that we simply use technology and act responsibly and cut off our addiction to oil. So there is no downside to doing the right thing.

You did not have to walk by a STTP every day and see wounded kids, and Iraqis. You have not been part of a walking blood bank. Of been woke up at 0200 because you sleep 25 yards from a dust-off pad and three birds are coming in. You have been to one funeral, and I commend you for what you did. Wait until you have to attend 5 for good friends of yours. And countless others for people you don
t know or just kinda’ know. Wait until you jump every time there is a loud bang (like a balloon popping). Half the time I can not sleep in bed with my wife because the dreams I have make me shake in my sleep. Go through a little of that and then you will understand what anger is.
If this war is so illegal WHY HAVE THOSE COWARDS IN CONGRESS NOT DONE SOMETHING TO STOP IT. Because to them, to Bush, and to YOU we are just a number, a statistic, a pawn for political purpose.

Some are saying it is already too late. With the release of methane from the permafrost regions of the northern latitudes, this cycle is self-sustaining. The best we can hope for is to mitigate its effects.
Nature has a way of balancing things. If human activity upsets the balance, then conditions change, reducing the numbers of humans. This planet is essentially a closed system. When things get out of balance, something has to give.

And, if you re-read my posts above, I was not telling you what you should feel, but holding up a mirror to how you come across; as one who supports Bush and dismisses all others. The first post on this thread is a prime example. It is as if you are taking your anger at Bush out against eveyone except Bush. Part of you hates what you have become. And part of you is lost on an angry black sea.

You blame Gore, for the work of his wife to protect children from excessive violence? What, are you a ‘beating’ parent? Beaten as a child? What in the hell is wrong with you?
As for you seeking help from professionals, consider upgrading who you’re using. It isn’t working.
