Roger Ebert on the Gore Documentary ; A Congressman Takes NOAA to Task; Climate Activists Get Ready for a Landslide
Roger Ebert has been reviewing movies for 39 years. A two-thumbs-up on his television program Ebert and Roeper can make or break a film.
In a recent review for the Chicago Sun Times, Roger Ebert did something he's never done. He told people to go see a film -- and that, if they didn't -- they would have to explain to their children and grandchildren.
That movie is Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

Earthbeat listeners have a lot to say about Al Gore's movie and about the connections between Global Warming and hurricanes. Mike Tidwell talks to our audience -- and to Congressman David Wu, he's a ranking Democrat overseeing the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - NOAA. He's called for the resignation of NOAA's leadership in light of their attempts to censor scientists from speaking out about the links between climate change and hurricanes.

"An Inconvenient Truth" inspired thousands to become involved in fighting Global Warming. Gore's Communications Director, Kalee Kreider, is helping to set up Nashville training camps to teach people about the issue. She's joined on Earthbeat by Stephen Smith, the executive director of the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
