Excerpts from film review by Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, THE WEEKLY STANDARD

Hayward 's rebuttal of Gore's warning about a coming climate catastrophe won't thrill either the environmental crowd or Hollywood 's liberal elite...

Hayward , as a global warming skeptic, has an advantage over Gore. Unlike Gore, he is calm and reasonable, avoids hyperbole, and sticks to the facts...

The result is that he is closer to what he calls "the general consensus" among scientists about global warming than Gore is...

It's important to note than Hayward , a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, is not a global warming denier..."The problem with Vice President Gore and other global warming extremists is that they distort the science, grossly exaggerate the risks, argue that anyone who disagrees with them is corrupt, and suggest that solutions are easy and cheap," Hayward says. "And that's an all too convenient fiction."...
 
Hayward makes it simple to understand...What's especially significant is that he doesn't cite only the science that suits his purposes. Conclusions about global warming are all over the lot, he notes, and "you can get whiplash following the science on this." His point is that the science on global warming is not settled, as Gore and his allies claim. The environment, Hayward concludes, "is much too important to be left to environmentalists." Or to Al Gore.
