An Inconvenient Truth

I have finally gotten around to watching Al Gore's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth". For anyone who has not yet seen it, it is imperative that you do so. It is a sobering, frightening, and inspiring movie. Gore is eloquent and passionate about the issue of global warming, and demonstrates, in a simple and straightforward fashion, the global crisis we are currently facing.

We in the United States are responsible for 30.3% of the total carbon emissions that lead to global warming, and so it is we that, more than anyone, need to act to arrest this phenomenon.

Honestly, the film is amazing and scary, and I would recommend it to anyone. Also check out the companion website, www.climatecrisis.net.



Sorry if this seems overly preachy and political, but as Gore says in his film, there really is nothing political about all of this. The world is going to hell in a handbasket--glaciers are melting, sea temperature is rising, ocean levels are rising, the number of violent storms of all types is increasing. We are f#*@ed unless we do something.
