188714, I don't think further attatching the issue to a partisan

political figure is at all productive. Even if he did win the popular vote. Basically this :" film points out to those who weren't already aware of it how long he has been concerned with environmental issues" becomes what the movie is about. What good does that really do for anyone, especially if he isn't going to run for office.

The producers should have found somebody with broader appeal to deliver the message. There is little opportunity for films about subjects like this to be given a wide release. Couldn't they have hired Morgan Freeman?

I haven't yet seen Darwin's Nightmare. But I did grow up watching David Suzuki, now there's a guy who can deliver the message effectively.

And isn't the critiscism that Gore himself is shown to be a conspicuous consumer wasting fossil fuel a little disconcerting?
