Looking like Michael Moore was not enough for Al Gore. The Internet inventor has become a documentary film maker himself. "An Inconvenient Truth" opened at the Cannes Film Festival. It is a movie about a slide show about Global Warming.
The former Buddhist nun bag man had this to say in a CBS interview: "There is no more debate. We face a planetary emergency. And the phrase
sounds shrill but it is an accurate description of the climate crisis
that we have to confront and solve."
I agree. It sounds shrill.
While characterizing the Bush administration as, "a renegade band of rightwing extremists", Gore says he has no plans to run for president. "I am involved in a campaign, but it's not for a candidacy. It's for a cause." Things could get dicey here. Suppose he changes his mind and runs for president after all. Could "An Inconvenient Truth" become the first major motion picture hauled into court? McCain/Feingold issue advocacy rules would be the controlling legal authority.
That would be an inconvenient truth.
