Paramount's problem is the movie is more about Al Gore than about
global warming. For example, what does the 2000 recount have to do
with climate change? The "inconvenient truth" is Al Gore is in the
movie and does nothing to de-politicize the issue. Removing him from
the poster credits is a meaningless fig leaf gesture as it won't
attract Republicans who might consider that anthropogenic climate
change is real. This will be the Farenheit 911 of 2006 with the same
limited audience.
