We are watching "An Inconvenient Truth". But who decides what truth is?
Evidence must play a part, but is all evidence reliable?
Who should we believe?
Opinions are different from facts - it is difficult to establish some facts.
The movie is convincing. I believe it. Many don't.
Here are some websites with different viewpoints.
There are also some cool sites with pictures of Earth from Space and more...

If we didn't believe anyone we'd all be dead. :o)
I agree with Muddie. I have watched that before, and I found it startling, if not actually boring, but I didn't care. I loved all the emotion Al Gore poured into what he was saying, and the way he presented the fatcs. I thought that what6 I saw was the truth, and what (CENCORED) Bush said was wrong. I don't like him at all.
I only got to see the start, but what I saw was really cool. even if we arent going through a global warming as such, we should still look after our planet, and keep it clean and green!
Yay! I have almost finished my speech! YAY!YAY!YAY!
I think (I'm not 100% sure) that I England the minister/ministry of education declared that some points incorrect. So it could not be used as a learning tool.
P.S. Neina, I disagree. In some parts of the movie/documentry I thought he put little emotion into the speech (I am probably wrong though).
Bob is doing her speach on it and apparently some people sued gore for 200 and something lies except they only took 10 to court and he was chared for 9 out of 10 of those lies and the other 1 he was charged for 'bending the truth' so i sont know if its really a reliable source. although i agree whetherglobal warming is real or not our planet needs looking after.
