If you really think about it, it’s pretty darn disappointing that it took a former Vice President of the United States of America to convince the whole world that the planet is in a whole lot of trouble – the disappointment is rooted from the fact that is has be a major international concern for years prior to that point, only that people who claimed that we must take better care of our planet were considered kooky or strange. Very sad, as some of those people once had reputations of being brilliant minds in their community prior to being antagonized by others who think that caring for the environment is technically one of the ways of the extremist. Now, thanks to Al Gore being respectable enough (with all the right sorts of backing), the world has come to appreciate how close we are to self-annihilation, if we don’t make a change. Couple this with the fact that celebrities loved the film so much that they promoted it at every turn, and we find ourselves with a recipe for success.

Or do we? As far as we could see, it just ended up be a flavor of the season kind of thing, and everyone just jumped on the bandwagon so people would like them. Not enough of the celebrities actually took the plunge and actually made changes in their lifestyle in order to make it “greener”. Everyone just kept saying “gone green this” or “gone green that”, and they would make some superficial gesture to show that “yes, we believe in what he said”. But many actually found the inconvenient truth simply inconvenient, and did not truly heed it. Today, some of us still insist that global warming is a lie, or that non carbon energy will never be the way to go. And it is sad. It’s so very sad.
