For those who haven't seen An Inconvenient Truth, what are you waiting for? If you have a friend or family member who is a naysayer on environmental issues it can make a great gift, and possibly change their perspective. Lets use this opportunity to highlight environmental problems across the globe, and in our own backyards. Associated Press
