For FIFTY YEARS scientists have known about global warming. This exerpt is from the well known educational documentary "Unchained Goddess" produced by Frank Capra for Bell Labs for their television program "The Bell Telephone Hour." It was so well made, that it went on to live a continued life in middle school science classrooms across the nation for decades.

Nearly half a century before Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth," this film was made. But what does it reveal? That our scientists have known for over two generations about this danger, but our politicians and citizenry have chosen to ignore the dangerous implications of this fact until it really is too late to avoid the preventable consequences.

1. now that is scary

I don't remember seeing this in school. It seems to me that something like this would be kept from students. So very sad.

4. I vaguely remember seeing it in school

I think I remember seeing it in 4th grade, in the fall of 1959, and perhaps once on TV.
