Randy Olson: You know what we need? Another Al Gore global warming hoax movie

#138) Bring Back Al Gore: Part Deux | The Benshi
I, as much as anyone, detest the boring movie that Davis Guggenheim made about global warming in 2006. A very well-intentioned politician put his faith in a dull filmmaker and ended up with a film that nobody wants to watch five years later.
...
But the brainless, gutless thing the environmental movement did was to decide that Gore was a total failure not worth backing any further. Rather than look at what worked, what didn’t work, and what needed improvement, the powers that be simply kicked him to the curb (I know this from inside sources), then went on with their own polling-driven, directionless mess that culminated this spring with Matt Nisbet’s widely criticized report that correctly stated (if nothing else) that a gargantuan amount of money (at least a third of a billion dollars, perhaps three times that) was wasted on the massively failed “cap and trade” effort.

The ineptitude of the climate movement is of historic proportions....
The guy is a stiff (still), he doesn’t have broad appeal (my friends and relatives in Kansas cannot stand him), but he remains true to his mission. He’s the best hope for the issue of climate change.
...
Find yourself a filmmaker who actually knows how to tell a story. Make a new movie with Al Gore.

The trailer for his AGW movie "SIZZLE" is actually hilarious since in it the skeptics are the fun ones:
