I can't begin to tell you how much I don't care for Al Gore. Anyone who knows me, knows this. But as an atmospheric scientist charged by the State of California to become an "expert" in Global Climate Change.... I'm gonna go see the movie this weekend.
One thing I don't like about politicians is that they overstate things to the point where scientists do not want to support them because it's just plain bad science! Even if the science WAS good, bureaucrats (sp?) have the tendancy to bend and flex and mould the truth to their own agenda.
That's not to say that Al Gore's movie is good or bad or indifferent. In fact, I'm going to see it first hand. One of my most trusted mentors, who also happens to be M.W. (see girls, what happens when you date people in your field of expertise? The former love of your life still remains your mentor. Bleh. I feel like Alannis Morrissette all of a sudden!) though.... a barn-burning tree hugger (you know what I mean. He's a tree hugging tree hugger!) thought that the movie was overstated. That's a HUGE admission from M.W. ... Because he never admits anything ....
Anyways. Recycle your paper and plastics. Reduce your post-consumer waste. Re-use your little plastic butter dishes for cat-food. And most of all... try to stop using your Aussie Sprunch Spray in a can.
(Dorothy discreetly tucks her can of said spray under her arm and confidently, if not guiltily walks out of the room).
