   [1]An Inconvenient Truth (DVD) I saw it this weekend, and must say, it
   was magnificent. My timing is certainly appropriate given the
   [2]release of the IPCC report on Friday.

   To me the two things that stood out the most were the Greenland
   melting, and the emphatic point that reducing carbon emission is
   probably an opportunity for immense economic growth, not a burden. I
   guess I have more faith in Yankee ingenuity and the free market than
   the critics do; at any rate the counterargument by Gore using
   automobile standards in China vs the US (specifically California) was
   utterly devastating. I'm going to [3]buy this DVD; it's that good. And
   I'll chip in another ten bucks to the [4]Draft Gore ActBlue page
   besides.

   I'd appreciate any link to "response" pieces by critics, as long as
   they actually address the specific arguments and don't try to do an
   end-run by attempting to ad-hominem the scientific process itself.

   If you've seen the film, let's talk about it. I assume my view is in
   the distinct minority here... that's fine. I can take the heat :) Fair
   warning, though: if you want to argue about AIT with me, but you
   haven't seen the film yourself, then save your breath.
