Now, here’s the most important detail of all. I spoke with one of the scientists in the HBO movie. This scientist told me that when it came to that movie, Laurie David did a very conscientious job of getting everything right scientifically, at great cost in time, energy, and entertainment value (as the review above indicates).

But when it came time for the Al Gore movie, “she basically asked all the scientists to leave the room,” this scientist told me. She simply said that global warming is too important a topic to allow it to get bogged down in facts, details, minutiae, excessive attention to detail, and poor storytelling.

They went for it on the Al Gore movie. They made a film that scored over $50 million in box office worldwide, that was not totally accurate yet is still endorsed by James Hansen and most every other major climate scientist, and, most important, that changed the world. What do you say to that?
