An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

I only just now watched this film. Polished over many years, Gore's line of attack is well reasoned and easy to follow. I was particularly struck by how disinformation campaign driven by the oil companies and the current administration leads people to believe there is an controversy of the possibility of global warming when out of almost 1000 peer reviewed articles in this field there was not a single article which disputed the finding that global warming is happening. It is also stunning how melt from major ice shelves in Greenland and/or Antarctica would raise worldwide sea level by 20 ft. The street my home is on would probably be close to being underwater at that point.
