"Al Gore has won twice in America and gotten nothing," said Jimmy Kimmell on his show following the Academy Awards. An excellent observation.
I believe the nods to Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" are a statement by the members' of the Academy that Hollywood's move to the right over the past twenty-five years is no longer acceptable.
Although the right-wing says that global warming is not an issue of left vs right, it is clear that policies of the right-wing have had a devastating impact on the world. It is the job of everyone on the left to ignore the right-wing's apologism, and push, push, push for changes.
Global warming IS a political issue and it is the job of the left-wing to force the issue.
If we let the right-wing say it is not a left vs right issue, then nothing will be done. The left must continue to force the issue. It is a life-long trick of the right-wing to say "this isn't a battle that needs to be fought" and then they promptly sweep everything under the carpet. Ignore the right-wing.
Hollywood can force the right-wing to take action.
I am proud of Al Gore, Melissa Etheridge, and all who made "An Inconvenient Truth."

Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
