So what...? Yes, the film has a political bias and is narrated by Gore, touching on his personal involvement in the issue--but it is an issue that cannot be ignored. Even when I considered myself a Republican (between the ages of 17 and 20), I was deeply concerned about the environment. And I don't know how any self-respecting person would not want to protect and preserve the environment for future generations. To ignore even the potential for a problem is irresponsible and selfish. In essence, it is inability to see beyond one's own years on Earth.

Nevertheless, if every politician were allowed to champion a pet issue through a film, I am sure they would, and it would be more than likely an illuminating experience no matter what side of the political aisle it came from.

The fact of the matter is, the species homo sapiens has done more than any other living thing to destroy and disrupt the Earth's ecosystem and natural processes.

People would do well to understand that the way that we live is unsustainable. Sure, it is fine right now, but in a hundred years it may not be fine.

How can the planet Earth sustain the following?:

- unchecked emissions
- unlimited population growth
- deforrestation
- suburban sprawl (which adversely effects farming capacity)
- contaminated water supplies
- oil production (when there is a limited supply and oil is the basis for our economy)

These are but a few concerns that any human being should harbor. That is if you have half a soul.

I have this in my Blockbuster Queue. I really want to see it. It's sad what humans are doing to this world. There are so many ways we can cut down on pollution and all the other poisons going into the air we breathe. We're killing the world.
