Al Gores grounndbreaking documentary, An Inconvenient Truth , is now available on DVD. If you haven’t seen it, I strongly recommend you ignore everything you may or may not think about Gore and buy the DVD. Watch it with your family and talk about it. Pass a copy on to a teacher, a friend, a co-worker. Everyone needs to see this film and respond to it on their own personal level. While it should be pretty obvious what my stance on climate change is, I’m not going to tell you how to think- just watch the flick, keep an open mind and you may find yourself becoming more than a little alarmed.
In the short time since the theatrical release a lot of what were informed predictions in the film have taken place. Gore covers these changes in the interview included on the DVD.
Last week a major summit on climate change was held in Africa, a continent already experiencing drought and starvation linked to global warming. Virtually nothing was accomplished as enegry-hogging, CO2 spewing nations like the US and China blocked every move to decide on anything.
We don’t have time to spend years debating this subject. As the movie clearly shows, something momentous is happening right now and its accelerating. Watch it, talk about it, share it- it’s your duty as a creature on this planet.
