An Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore's movie about the greenhouse effect, "An Inconvenient Truth," will soon be showing everywhere. The film may convince skeptics of global warming that there is no longer any doubt (from a NYT Op-Ed):

Many who already believe global warming is a menace will flock to the film; many who scoff at the notion will opt for Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks. But has anything happened in recent years that should cause a reasonable person to switch sides in the global-warming debate?

Yes: the science has changed from ambiguous to near-unanimous. As an environmental commentator, I have a long record of opposing alarmism. But based on the data I'm now switching sides regarding global warming, from skeptic to convert.

[The] research is now in, and it shows a strong scientific consensus that an artificially warming world is a real phenomenon posing real danger.
