Has anybody seen this documentary with Al Gore ? I must admit i had my own views about global warming and how i believed that this is natures way of doing things . Well i watched this after downloading it and.............. OH........ MY .........GOD....! If anybody has any doubts about the real seriousness of global warming , then you must watch this . This is nothing like anything that has ever happened before on this planet. My feelings have actually changed on this matter and i'm not the type that is easily influenced . If a government health warning should be aired on our screens , then this should be it

Didn't watch the programme, but I do feel that if western governments are really concerned, they should take some positive action and introduce a few serious measures instead of pussyfooting about. Rather than bleating about China increasing their number of power stations (70% of it's population still has no access to elecrticity) perhaps they should take measures to reduce our consumption of electricity and other resources - only one of an electrical appliance per household, limit our water supply, ban completely certain kinds of packaging or goods etc etc. They won't, because it would be unpopular..
