"Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb," warns the website for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. "We have just 10 years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin."

I assume that the hypocrisy of probably A) enviro-hollywood in totality, B) politicians in totality, and C) the preponderance of people involved in any given trend, be it hybrids or whatever else, doesn't surprise people of the age visiting this forum. So...
All i want to know is when are people (al) going to learn to not predict very short-term doom? I mean, look, you could sell books and movie tickets for 20-30 years, several flics, etc. But if you're predicting its all over in 10 years, that's really cutting it close.
Unless the plan is to wait those ten years, then scream "partial victory" into the 4 winds, take credit for saving the planet, and then sell tickets about how to finish saving the planet.
You know, like this:
1. dig through all historical photos of mount kilimysnatcho for hte one with the most snow
2. repeat for the one with the least snow today
3. in 10 years, to inititae phase 2, find one with medium snow, showing progress, then claim credit for such progress
4. in 20 years, show one with alot of snow again, claiming total victory, declare yourself the second coming, and demand that a church be erected in your honor
