An Inconvenient Truth

The movie seems fucking depressing...
Why would this be such a hot topic? Why does one group of people wholeheartedly state that it's just melodrama and the other that it is a serious issue?
The scientists are still divided on the issue.
I look at the news very different now than I did a few years ago. A 'hot topic' is only hot because the news stations are putting spin on it. There is no more 'news' it's all spin. If there was only one scientist saying that there was global warming, media would give them 50% of the time to explain it saying it was 'the other side of the story and we want to be fair.'
News media doesn't cover news anymore. They push for ratings and the fastest way to do that is cover controversial emotional stories. If they run out of stories to cover they create controversial emotional stories.
Most of the time I watch the news with a 'whatever' attitude and do my own homework on the issues.
