Pearce on Gore	David Roberts	24 Oct 2007	Gristmill
Socially progressive publishing house Beacon has a new blog, Beacon Broadside, where its authors post. One of the first posts is from Fred Pearce, author of, among other books, With Speed and Violence: Why Scientists Fear Tipping Points in Climate Change. It's called "Al and Me,' and defends Gore against the charge that he exaggerated the dangers of climate change in his movie. Quite the contrary, says Pearce.

Another skeptic zombie killed, probably not for the last time More on the nine 'errors' in Gore's movie	David Roberts	19 Oct 2007	Gristmill
As I said in my earlier post on the subject, there's less than meets the eye to the story of the British judge that found nine "errors" in An Inconvenient Truth. Turns out they weren't errors, just points the judge deemed different enough from the IPCC view to warrant explanatory materials -- and the judge was off about most of them anyway.That hasn't stopped the media from making a total hash of it. Read Tim Lambert's two posts on the Washington Post's war o ...

What's Up, Doc? U.K. judge rules Inconvenient Truth partisan but still OK to show in schools		03 Oct 2007	News
Posted at 12:48 PM on 03 Oct 2007 A judge has ruled on a British citizen's accusation that the United Kingdom's distribution of An Inconvenient Truth to secondary schools amounts to political indoctrination. And the strange, strange verdict is: Yes, the documentary can be shown in schools -- as long as teachers follow guidelines to not promote Al Gore's "partisan political views" to impressiona ...

Now With More Gore! Al Gore will pen a solutions-focused sequel		07 Sep 2007	News
Posted at 3:15 PM on 07 Sep 2007 Al Gore is writing another book -- and you can bet that climate change is shakin' in its boots. The Path to Survival, a solutions-focused sequel to the groundbreaking Inconvenient Truth, is slated to hit shelves on Earth Day 2008.

Will it play in Bolivia? A South American take on Gore's film	Katharine Wroth	25 May 2007	Gristmill
Jessica Weisberg is an American journalist currently based in South America. The following is her take on the peculiar cultural dominance of An Inconvenient Truth. ----- I liked Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. Really, I did. But when I count off my reasons -- the special effects, the wet-your-pants astonishment, the drama -- I find myself applauding the film's popular appeal more than its take-home message. ...

More Gore Really, can you get enough?	Yolanda Crous	27 Feb 2007	Gristmill
Just can't get enough of Al-mania? For your consideration, two Gore-centric anecdotes from the Oscar backstage press room, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly: Please. S'il Vous Plait. Por Favor. Per Favore. Please. Hands shot up all over for Al Gore when he came backstage. What did the international press want to know? Maybe something about how it was to star in an Oscar-winning film? Or how they can help stop global warming? Or how can they fix the wipers on their ...

Martin Who? An Inconvenient Truth wins Oscars, Al Gore wins affection		26 Feb 2007	Daily Grist
Martin Who? An Inconvenient Truth wins Oscars, Al Gore wins affection Rock star. Superhero. Visionary. That pre-Oscar hype paled next to last night's event, which saw Al Gore -- looking blissfully bloated in a Ralph Lauren tux -- take home an award for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song. OK, technically the Goracle himself didn't win either of the statuettes for An Inconve ...

Climate change with Al Gore A dispatch from Gore's climate training sessions	Andrew Dessler	11 Jan 2007	Gristmill
I'm blogging from Nashville, where I just spent two days hanging with Al Gore and shooting the sh-t about climate change. OK, it wasn't just me and Al -- there were about 200 other people there. This meeting is part of Al Gore's effort to train 1000 people to go out and deliver his Inconvenient Truth talk. The meeting started off on a low note when I found out that Cameron Diaz had been in the session before mine. Damn. My session was actually devoid of anyon ...

The Writing on the Wal-Mart Al Gore takes his green message to Wal-Mart headquarters	Amanda Griscom Little	19 Jul 2006	Muckraker
Picture Al Gore standing in a modest auditorium deep in America's heartland before an exultant crowd of Wal-Mart employees, comparing their campaign to lighten the company's environmental footprint to the Allies' righteous struggle in World War II. This after Rev. Jim Ball, head of the Evangelical Environmental Network, likened the giant retailer's greening efforts to the wo ...

Under the Covers: An Inconvenient Truth Gore's new book is full of truths, pretty pictures	Sarah van Schagen	05 Jun 2006	Gristmill
I hold in my hand a copy of Al Gore's new book An Inconvenient Truth. Though subtitled 'The planetary emergency of global warming and what we can do about it,' this is not the photo-less, textbookish, only-a-few-graphs-and-charts-to-save-you from the sea-of-endless-sentences-and-paragraphs-of-boring-text that you might have (and I definitely) expected. This is a coffee-table book, people! There are pretty, pretty pictures! And fonts large enough for crotchety Aunt ...

Truth Be Told Gore's new flick, An Inconvenient Truth, improbably succeeds	David Roberts	24 May 2006	Arts and Minds
It's something of a miracle that An Inconvenient Truth, the chronicle of Al Gore's quest to raise alarm about "climate chaos," exists at all. A movie with a scantily clad Jessica Alba presenting a computer slideshow on climate science is implausible enough. Al Gore doing it, well ... even C-SPAN could be forgiven for having second thoughts. Albert Arnold Gore Jr. may be many things, ...

Al Gore's slideshow	David Roberts	19 May 2006	Gristmill

Al Revere An interview with accidental movie star Al Gore	David Roberts	09 May 2006	Main Dish
Al Gore is on the campaign trail again, and he actually seems to be enjoying it. Like Brad Pitt, but wonkier. Photo: Eric Neitzel/WireImage. For those who remember his ponderous, consultant-driven bid for president, the idea of Gore enjoying anything about campaigning may seem far-fetched. But this time, the campaign's not about him; it's about the issue that has been his consuming intellectual passion for nea ...

Lights, Camera, Traction Al Gore and electric car star in films unveiled at Sundance	Dan Bree	02 Feb 2006	Arts and Minds
At 25 years of age, Sundance is the country's premier festival of independent film. But a lot has changed over that quarter century. Well, actually, one thing has changed: m-o-n-e-y. There's a ton of Hollywood cash spent at Sundance, and I could see it everywhere I looked last week. The "VIP" corporate parties on Main Street. The piles of free stuff for celebrities.
