Oh, well written, Emily. A superb review, and even-handed to boot.

I'm all for getting the message about global warming out there as many ways as possible. But these pseudo-documentaries, edited to distort the real natures of the animals involved, do the public no service.

I'm reminded of Disney's old lemming clip, in which lemmings were herded off a cliff by the "documentary" filmmakers to "prove" that lemmings are suicidal - which the filmmakers had heard was true, but they didn't fact-check, and they were a wee bit too impatient to wait for it to happen naturally. Which, of course, it never would.

I say, let's tell the truth about science. I think the public can handle it, even if the ideologues on either side of the political spectrum can't.
