Letter: Republicans afraid of inconvenient truth

I would like to congratulate Al Gore for receiving an Oscar for his documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth." We have learned from his movie and book that global warming has the potential of affecting every man, woman and child on Earth.

Watching all of the wild weather occurring in the last five years, I was amazed to read letters by Republicans criticizing Al Gore and his movie. I decided to do my own survey and found that every Republican that I talked to refused to see the movie and refused to - "horrors" - read the book. Are Republicans afraid of an inconvenient truth?

As far as I know, President Bush has also not seen the movie. I rest my case.
