DVD Reviews of An Inconvenient Truth
DVD Review: Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
Summary: 5 Stars
Seldom somebody has pulled off such a magnificent integrated marketing stunt as Mr. Al Gore with this "movie" (actually, it is a VERY long commercial for his associated business trading in CO2 "credits". Only rarely the true marketing character of this venture comes through, when snippets of 400 Million $ ad campaigns "to make people aware of global warming" flash trough the networks. The Gores always were savvy businessmen, be it father Gore with his Armand Hammer / Oxy ventures (oil business for those that are not aware), exploiting links to the communist block dating back to Uncle Joe days, or be it the son who has discovered that dealing in the ultimate derivative is the easiest way to make money (did he learn this from the federal reserve?). That the politicians like it is only natural: Al needs a lot of regulation to succeed in his venture, and he graciously has given a new life to ideas of even higher taxes, thought dead for some decades now..... So the entire elite wins.
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
DVD Review: Lies based on Lies
Summary: 1 Stars
This entire Global Warming movement will go down in history as the ultimate hoax of all time. Carbon does NOT cause global warming and only comprises .054% of the Earth's green house gases. That's less than a single percent. Man can only effect 9% of that .054%. It's all a lie to turn on the carbon tax system which will redistribute wealth, exterminate the blacks in Africa, and give total and utter power to the Elite. Watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle" to see a real piece of scientific fact.DVD Review: A Must See: You're life may depend on it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought this documentary would be boring but I discovered it was just the opposite, it was fascinating!
Al Gore doesn't try to scare you he just presents the facts over the last 40 years of watching it happen. He doesn't rely on future predictions like I thought he would to scare you (he does show them to you through computer models and yes they are scary) but it's more a plea to your common sense side to start doing something about it because we can turn it around if we all work together.
It's about believing that it's real and that you can help to convince your government to pass laws requiring companies to become more green. The video also give some suggestions at the very end as to what you can do as an individual to slow this problem down.
DVD Review: Incoveniently Mesmerizing; A Must See
Summary: 5 Stars
The very fact that all the points Mr. Gore makes in this thrilling film, he painstakingly backs up with undeniable and verifiable historical and scientific proof, makes this film worth seeing. I say painstakingly because I can only imagine the opposition he must have encountered while making it.
The film is both haunting and captivating. I'll bet you'll catch yourself sitting on the edge of your seat at some point duting the movie, if not during most of it.
Everyone should set aside their biased political views for just a couple of hours and watch this film. Don't forget the popcorn and soda to make it a night to remember. Yes, Mr. Gore is passionate about his work but, so what, everyone should be.
So, go for it- set politics aside for once and see the film. It'll probably be the first part of the rest of your life.

Energy Guzzled by Al Gore's Home in Past Year Could Power 232 U.S. Homes for a Month
Gore's personal electricity consumption up 10%, despite "energy-efficient" home renovations
NASHVILLE - In the year since Al Gore took steps to make his home more energy-efficient, the former Vice President's home energy use surged more than 10%, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research.
"A man's commitment to his beliefs is best measured by what he does behind the closed doors of his own home," said Drew Johnson, President of the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. "Al Gore is a hypocrite and a fraud when it comes to his commitment to the environment, judging by his home energy consumption."
In the past year, Gore's home burned through 213,210 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, enough to power 232 average American households for a month.
In February 2007, An Inconvenient Truth, a film based on a climate change speech developed by Gore, won an Academy Award for best documentary feature. The next day, the Tennessee Center for Policy Research uncovered that Gore's Nashville home guzzled 20 times more electricity than the average American household.
After the Tennessee Center for Policy Research exposed Gore's massive home energy use, the former Vice President scurried to make his home more energy-efficient. Despite adding solar panels, installing a geothermal system, replacing existing light bulbs with more efficient models, and overhauling the home's windows and ductwork, Gore now consumes more electricity than before the "green" overhaul.
Since taking steps to make his home more environmentally-friendly last June, Gore devours an average of 17,768 kWh per month -1,638 kWh more energy per month than before the renovations - at a cost of $16,533. By comparison, the average American household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy Information Administration.
In the wake of becoming the most well-known global warming alarmist, Gore won an Oscar, a Grammy and the Nobel Peace Prize. In addition, Gore saw his personal wealth increase by an estimated $100 million thanks largely to speaking fees and investments related to global warming hysteria.
"Actions speak louder than words, and Gore's actions prove that he views climate change not as a serious problem, but as a money-making opportunity," Johnson said. "Gore is exploiting the public's concern about the environment to line his pockets and enhance his profile."
The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a Nashville-based free market think tank and watchdog organization, obtained information about Gore's home energy use through a public records request to the Nashville Electric Service.

Description of An Inconvenient Truth
Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change in the most talked-about documentary of the year. An audience and critical favorite An Inconvenient Truth makes the compelling case that global warming is real man-made and its effects will be cataclysmic if we don't act now. Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way: often humorous frequently emotional always fascinating. In the end An Inconvenient Truth accomplishes what all great films should: it leaves the viewer shaken involved and inspired.System Requirements:Run Time: 96 mins Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. Rating: PG UPC: 097363480846 Manufacturer No: 348084With the fate of our planet arguably hanging in the balance, An Inconvenient Truth may prove to be one of the most important and prescient documentaries of all time. As he jokingly refers to himself, "former President-elect" Al Gore felt an urgent personal calling to draw attention--as he had been doing throughout his political career--to the increasingly desperate crisis of global warming, and this riveting documentary is basically a filmed version (by respected TV director Davis Guggenheim) of the PowerPoint lecture that Gore has presented (by his own estimate, well over 1,000 times) to attentive audiences all over the world. Considering Gore's amiable, low-key approach to charts, graphs, statistics, and photographs that leave no room for doubt regarding the reality (not "theory") of global warming as Earth's ultimate environmental crisis, many viewers will be surprised by just how fascinating and convincing this no-frills film really is.
As we learn about the milestone events that shaped his character (including his sister's death and young son's near-fatal injuries after being struck by a car), Gore sheds the stiff demeanor of his 2000 presidential campaign and impresses us as a man with a mission, transcending partisan politics with an impassioned plea for common sense, ethical forthrightness, and passionate purpose in reversing the harmful effects of global warming through personal and political responsibility. Some may accuse Gore of exploiting global warming as a Democratic platform, but his honest conviction regarding this "inconvenient truth" (i.e. overwhelming evidence of global warming that's troublesome to those whose interests are threatened by Gore's irrefutable message) is likely to silence all but the most obtusely stubborn detractors. By taking the high road and discreetly avoiding a full-on assault against the George W. Bush administration (which has steadfastly avoided "the inconvenient truth" with obfuscating spin control and policies favoring the oil industry), Gore effectively rises above political differences with a stern but hopeful eye toward a better future for our children.--Jeff Shannon
