An Inconvenient Truth is a "must see" movie
This is a very compelling movie with the caveat that,
if you don't like Al Gore this'll be a little
challenging, but I encourage you to overcome this
feeling though, and I do sincerely hope that you'll
make a point to watch it as soon as possible.
EVERY unbiased scientific data is pointing to the
same direction... The large fraction of the US mass
media that question the findings have ties with the
current government, the Oil industry (sorry,
repetition)or GM.
It IS a scary movie and even though our brains
cannot completely fathom the consequences that are
implied here and some consequences that are
suggested might not come to pass, it is no reason to
close our eyes and ears while humming some primal
sounds in order not to be distracted from our
current state of denial.
I thought I had a pretty good knowledge on the
subject, but I didn't realize how much more serious
it has become in such a SHORT time. Another point
showing that everything is connected, Jacques
Cousteau before his death said that the major issue
for the future of human race will be overpopulation.
It took 1 million some years to see 2,000,000,000
people living on earth at the same time and only ONE
life time to increase that number by 6,000,000,000
more.
Almost everywhere else in the world (the US
Government - many states and cities in the US are
doing something - and Australia are the only 2 major
exceptions among the richest nations), everybody,
even governments, are talking in urgent terms about
global climate changes and its dire consequences,
putting new policies in place and watching people
starting to modify their old habits.
Hopefully it'll come to our country too and not
too soon.
Earth is big but its atmosphere is VERY thin and
fragile and human activities ARE impacting
significantly the composition of this thin
lifesaving layer.
Imagine your children and your children's children
asking in 20, 30 or 50 years:
What have they done while we still had a chance?
