Unfortunately documentaries such as this (I watched about 60% of it before I had to go out last night) are so slick and blatant that any question of integrity flies over the head of the average Joe.

In the global warming/not argument world though, more often than not, as we can see in the forum even, there are few people on the fence who even give a damn whether or not global warming exists, and they just wish to go about with their lives and live freely without the burden of knowing what their potential impact/non-impact is on the earth.

The supporters of both sides often (but not always) tend to be persons who have chosen their positions well before even viewing or reading any materials on the subject. It's not likely even a slick easy-to-digest film such as this will change the minds of many (one way or the other), as anyone who wishes to be educated on the matter has probably sought out education in the past.

Point of the argument:

Global warming or not, does anyone alive truly believe it's a good idea to constantly release chemicals and emmissions into the atmosphere? For those that do, maybe we should ship them off to a nice package tour of LA during a muggy summer day. The question here should never be about economics or political posturing, but whether or not we want to see the earths air quality slowly decline.

Afterthought:

It's blatantly obvious corporations and big oil are in it for the money, duh, they're a business. But groups like Greenpeace and Suzuki are alot more interested than hearing themselves speak rather than results. I think (as in any situation) the extremists blind and confuse the general public and just turn people off the issue without reaching any decisive point,
