The "Epitome of [Hypocrisy]" is the Neo-Conservative Nihilist Denial!
First of all, this film is a great film! It's one of the best films I've seen in some time. If the right-wing nihilists weren't out in full force, do you think anyone would have a problem obeying the international laws that only United States refuses to implement? You heard me right, and you heard Al Gore right, and this is what he said in my own words: the reason America won't get off its collective butts to install laws that recognize the existence of Global Warming is because of China. That's right: China.

Okay, here's a "weed whacker" if I ever saw one. I'm going to quote someone else's review from here at Amazon called "The Epitome of Hypocracy." (I think the writer meant "hypocrisy" instead of "hypocracy.") The article with that name is correctly labeled, sans misspelling, but the epitome of hypocrisy belongs to that reviewer, and not the person on whom she has laid her blame. She calls herself "Stealth Kitten" Isn't that ironic! She's a clumsy writer. I quote her statements here:

QUOTE--"Disclosure: Before you look at the one star review and your emotional belief system starts categorizing me as a Republican or a Bush supporter I would like to disclose that I despise both the republican and democratic parties which are in reality now two agents of the same agenda."

I know she'll be getting to her point soon; alas, I must wait.

QUOTE--"And I'm not here to debate whether or not global warming is a real phenomenon. I'm also a former employee of the EPA [Environmental Protection Agency]."

Okay, so if she's not going to debate it, I guess that's because she agrees with it. As an EPA employee, she'd be able to contest Al Gore's argument IF global warming does not exist.

QUOTE--"That being said, the idea that Al Gore (or any american president) is an environmentalist is patently absurd."

Did this lady watch the same film I did? I just saw Al Gore preaching for TWO HOURS about the environment. Who's she tryin' to kid? He had scientific data, charts, and films.

QUOTE--"Am I the only person who remembers that it was the Clinton administration that engineered the policy of the polution credits allowing companies who are polluters to actually pollute more?"

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH IT? Okay, so this complaint has no bearing on the film, but this lady wants people to talk about the credits of the Kyoto Protocol? Lady, if you're complaining about the credit system, you've missed the boat.

QUOTE--"Like Bush and Cheney, Clinton and Gore manipulate and undermine the enviromentalist cause every chance they get."

Trite!

QUOTE--"LOOK AT THE CAR AL GORE IS DRIVING IN THE FILM. Uhhh...."

Over 30% of the world's greenhouse gases are emitted by the United States, but this woman is worried about which car Al Gore drives! Hey lady, can you say ICE AGE?

QUOTE--"It was the Clinton administration that made it legal to POISON U.S. CITIZENS by putting carcinogens in their food. Don't believe me? Look up the Delaney clause and The Food Quality Protection Act sometime."

Irrelevant. She hasn't presented an argument without the trivial blame game! Is she going to talk about the content of the film today?

QUOTE--"The reality of CO2 emissions is that we could operate completely of of eco-friendly energy using 1920's TECHNOLOGY if there was not a political conspiracy in place in order to prevent that from happening. Electric cars, windmills, and especially hydro-electric power have been here for a hundred years. Hydro electric power is and always has been the most efficient, most enviromentally friendly way to to produce electricity... and anyone who tells you otherwise is probably putting out disinformation on behalf of a corporation or intelligence agency. A few more dams the size of hoover and niagra could easily power north america and we could certainly have electric cars."

I think she's saying that global warming does exist, and she agrees that people should do something about it. Didn't Al Gore say this?

QUOTE--"The real agenda here is that Al Gore's handlers have ordered him to use the environmentalist cause to bring about world socialist government which is what the agenda of people like Bush and Gore has been for a long time."

WHAT A FRUITCAKE! She's confused! This is outright presumptuous slander. Notice how she mixes opinions in with her "facts." And, does anyone think Bush is attempting to "bring about world socialist government?" NO, THEY DON'T! She's arguing from a figment of her imagination, but contrary to her earlier argument, this one says that Gore IS BEING an environmentalist!

QUOTE--"Wake up kids. If you want a real documentary watch 9/11 mysteries or Terror Storm."

Boy, that is the worst review of this film I've read so far. She doesn't mention anything in the film, except that Al Gore starred in it. What was she trying to say anyway? It sounded like confusion and frustration. Lady, you're a nut!

What's worse is that a few nut bags deny every politician who try to do a job and provide a basic service to the American people. There are TWO definitions to the word democracy, the OTHER ONE is REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT, of which we have little-to-none. Al Gore knows what he believes and what he's fighting for is good to Americans. While the Americans are sitting on their collective butts, the rest of the world has adopted the Kyoto Protocol. Why not the Americans?

Because, CHINA. Or, because CREDITS. I'd like someone to explain to me what China has to do with whether or not America adopts the Kyoto Protocol! I mean, if America is the greatest, most "moral-est" country in the world, why does it take A CONVENIENT STANCE? Because, then America can ignore the problem? Of course, this to completely ignore the facts of the movie telling people that China is WAAAAAAY ahead of the United States in its greenhouse-gas emission standards!

Those are great morals, America! At this rate, the world will have another Ice Age much sooner. What do you want, a pat on the back too?

America is in denial of the change the world needs.

If you're saying this is socialism, then you're a retard.

Hey, is saving lives socialism too?

Politics aside, surprisingly well presented
This presentation makes a strong fact based backing of what can or is already the consequences of global warming.

I have been to a few of the locations pointed out in the video, including Glacier National park. And if I had just watched this video I may have been skeptical of a one sided argument that was packed or spun for ulterior motives. But seeing the results here and now this becomes really spooky. The thing that makes Stephen King stories so scary is that he keeps them just n the realm of reality; so if there is any credence to the global warming we are now in the middle of a Stephen King scenario.

The film is not just a scary we are doomed message but offers reasonable sounding practical alternatives.

The first step in any action is awareness.
