Showing on C4 (UK) at the moment is the film The Day after Tomorrow, the TV guide describes it as: a climatologist trying to figure out how to save the world from abrupt global warming. This is followed by Al Gore's diatribe, an inconvenient truth.
Now maybe I'm being cynical but are these films scheduled like this to try and convince people that if we don't believe what Al Gore and some scientists are saying, we are going to end up with New York buried under snow and the world on the edge of disaster.
I can imagine a lot of people watching the Day after and saying "ooh, wouldn't that be awful". Then after watching good old Al, the seed is sown in the back of their mind that it might happen, i.e., "it must be true, its on the telly".
No, it must just be me. A mainstream channel wouldn't do something like that....would they? :rolleyes:
