I think its great to make everything "fair and balanced", so to present this feature on the same footing as Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" would not do that. It's the duty of any good reporter to pass on relevant information to the public, to sort the BS from the facts, and not just pass on information unfiltered.

I'm definitely not claiming to be a reporter, or even if I was, a particularly good one. I'm just posting links here, it's up to the reader to decide. I enjoyed A.I.C and I enjoyed this doc as well. They both gave me things to think about, introduced me to scientists and some of their ideas so that I may have an "initial vector" so to speak into the academics if I want to go that far.

This is the same thing as An Inconvenient Truth to me. The creator takes a premise and runs with it, paying little heed to trying to argue against the premise.

The "position documentary" is nothing new but has gotten very popular in recent years. So now it seems like you almost have to meld your own documentary if you want to find the middle. That's why I like watching both sides of the debate.
