An Inconvenient Movie Review Statement

There is one problem with the Dispatch's movie review of An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's new movie. I haven't seen Gore's movie yet as it just opens today at the Drexel Gateway, but you don't need to see it to realize Frank Gabrenya errors in his review when he writes this:

The time spent personalizing Gore would have been better spent interviewing credible authorities — not paid advocates — who dispute Gore’s findings. They wouldn’t harm the pitch because editing can always give the star the final word, but they would have erased the accusation that the filmmakers were afraid to give the opposition its say.
Where exactly does Gabrenya propose finding these credible authorities that dispute global warming? They aren't exactly overrunning the planet, in fact, they are in a very small minority of climate experts and they're almost certainly partisan.
