You can’t see An Inconvenient Truth (Paramount, 5.26) “and not think of George W. Bush, the man who beat Gore in 2000,” observes Richard Cohen in the N.Y. Daily News. “Bush has been studiously anti-science, a man of applied ignorance who has undernourished his mind with the empty calories of comfy dogma. For instance, his insistence on abstinence as the preferred method of birth control would be laughable were it not so reckless. It is similar to Bush’s initial approach to global warming. It may be that Gore will do more good for his country and the world with this movie than Bush ever did by winning in 2000.”
