Lawrence Lessig: "On Wednesday, May 24, in select theaters in New York and LA, a film by Davis Guggenheim about Al Gore's global warming slide-show will open. I have seen the slide-show. It is - by far - the most extraordinary lecture I have ever seen anyone give about anything. And I've now seen the film, An Inconvenient Truth, twice.
"I will rarely ask favors of those who read here. But this is one. No issue is as important. I doubt you will ever see an argument as compelling. And though this is a beautiful and pasisonate film, it is, in the end, an argument that gets built upon the ethic that guides at least some conversation in places like this - facts, reason and a bit of persuasion."
