Gore is Disappointed

Snow on Mount Tremper, Willow, NY

This is a comment made by a student about a new film, A REALLY Inconvenient Truth, which looks at Global Warming as a problem of capitalist production.

I enjoyed " A Really Inconvenient Truth" very much. It manages to give a critical evaluation of another critical evaluation. It reminds us that we should take every opinion with a grain of salt because even an opinion that seems to be somewhat revolutionary can be driven by Capitalist motives.
My one critique of the views presented on the movie is that Al Gore is not anti-Capitalism and i don't think he ever claims to be. He instead seems to be simply disappointed with the Capitalist decision to value money OVER the well being of our planet.
Still, I agree with the fact that if he wanted to make a real difference he would have done more about the issue during his term in office
