“As the throngs of celebrities greeted Al Gore as a secular saint, I
wondered if this might usher in a backlash against
environmentalists....It seems like we’re reaching critical mass when it
comes to this issue. And all the experts agree. Well, almost every
expert. (There are a handful of scientists — many of them on the payroll
of big oil companies — who wonder if global warming is a reality.) But
my fervent hope is that Hollywood’s embrace of Al Gore doesn’t give
people an excuse to condemn and mock the effort — and oppose taking
steps that we as a society need to take to deal with the issue of
climate change.”
