First check!

Ok, well, it's a sub-check really.

#59. Watch 20 documentaries.  (1/20)

An Inconvenient Truth - 2006 - dir. Davis Guggenheim

I've been wanting to watch this one for a while, having been an Oscar winner and all.  But I didn't love it.  It was from 2006 and kind of felt/looked that way.  The most striking thing-I-learned -- California (not even the whole US) tried to pass car emissions regulations that in ten years time would bring our standards to the current standards in China (Japan?) which are far lower than even Europe, etc.  But the US car industry petitioned SO HARD the standards failed.  And now the US car companies can't sell our products in Asia because we're so far below their levels.  Sad.

Anyway, climate change is scary, I'm glad I have a hybrid car, I promise I'll buy energy friendly light bulbs, and it's maddening what the media can distort from fact into hype (NO published scientific studies doubt that global warming is happening; >50% of lay media, aka regular news reports state global warming as a "possibility" or "theory").  And I hope some of his predictions/charts are wrong.... (don't buy any beach homes.)

Seen any good documentaries lately?
