Another Inconvenient Truth

Al Gore's film on climate change, An Inconvenient Truth, receives a glowing review in today's UK Guardian.

Commenting on the review, an Australian says:
"Excellent article. It is great to see this sort of appreciation from journalists - something we do not have enough of here in Australia. The main broadsheet, The Australia (owned by R. Murdoch), has been voraciously cynical of Al Gore's Film. Each day it has opinion pieces deriding and outright denying the science presented in the documentary."
I must admit, the first time I heard that Al Gore had made a film called An Inconvenient Truth, I thought for sure it must be about all the unanswered questions around 9/11 and the enormity of the danger facing the world if the Bush cabal did engineer the atrocity to suit their agenda.

Inconvenient truths, along with their counterpart, convenient lies, feature strongly in today's information marketplace. With major international publishers and media owners tailoring facts to suit their politics most of us are denied the truth.

Without truth, how can there be democracy?
Without truth, how can you know who you're voting for or what you're voting on?
