I had to watch An Inconvenient Truth in Austin’s Environmental Science course. I understand now some of the problems of the video. It is touted as a treatise on global warming, which part of it is. The other part is a personal look at Al Gore and many stabs at George Bush. There are constant comments about the current administration and about personal issues Gore has with Bush. It became obvious early on that Gore was bitter about 2000 and what has happened to him since then. If the video had focused solely on global warming, I would not have had much of a problem with the video, other than my beliefs about global warming. However, the attacks on Bush and his administration, bring the video to something beyond the stated purpose. Gore should not be honored for attacks like this, he should be roundly condemned.
