I was also on the NPR radio show On the Media over the weekend discussing the challenges confronting journalists when covering a profoundly important story -- the growing influence of humans on the global climate -- that doesn't fit our norms for what constitutes "news." Scroll down to the segment titled "Dangerous Extremes." The rest of the show is well worth listening to, including an interview with Laurie David, a producer of "An Inconvenient Truth," the film on Al Gore.
Hope you can have a look and listen.

Revkin has traveled to the Artic three times, and he was the first New York Times reporter to file stories and images from the North Pole. He is the author of the new book THE NORTH POLE WAS HERE: Puzzles and Perils at the Top of the World

Real concern....
Although I guess "Yes Man"'s statement is more of a matter of deflection. The question of Al Gore walking is irrelevant to the validity of the film. After all, riding or walking is largely dictated by security concerns as a former US VP (and the weather).
Same with Christopher's labeling "argument". Sort of like how the Nazi's used the term 'Jew".
