Here is a critique from a group of scientists at RealClimate.

Along with various Seattle business and community leaders, city planners and politicians, a large group of scientists from the University of Washington got a chance to preview the new film, An Inconvenient Truth, last week.

And also a critique via Fox News by Patrick Michaels,a University of Virginia professor and senior fellow at the Cato Institute.

"alarmism"? - yeah the last thing we'd want is a global frenzy to clean up our act. Imagine what could happen if billions of people suddenly began respecting the earth and trying to do right by it? Rolling Eyes
