Must See Movie of the Year

From the title, you may think I'm talking about The Da Vinci Code or X-Men. However, while those are must sees because of their popularity, An Inconvenient Truth takes that description in a literal sense. According to NPR, for most of the problems we encounter, such as SARS, mad cow, etc., the general public are always more worried than the scientists, but for global warming, the opposite is true. Scientists have been screaming for years, but their messages were always undermined by our consumptive needs and our energy company loving politicians. Al Gore, who "used to be the next president of the US", is hoping to change all this by taking the road opposite of Schwarzenegger and Reagon's: he's using his popularity gained in the political arena to promote his cause on the big screen. I hope this documentary will reach Fahrenheit 911 popularity levels and hopefully will jolt the public to realize the consequences of our wasteful habits.
