Gore's Movie out May 24th! "An Inconvenient Truth"

[peabody71]

"I promise, you will be captivated, and then riveted and then
scared
out of your wits. Our Earth is going to hell in a handbasket."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/17/AR2006041701259.html

You will see the Arctic and Antarctic ice caps melting. You will
see
Greenland oozing into the sea. You will see the atmosphere
polluted
with greenhouse gases that block heat from escaping. You will
see
photos from space of what the ice caps looked like once and what
they
look like now and, in animation, you will see how high the
oceans
might rise. Shanghai and Calcutta swamped. Much of Florida, too.
The
water takes a hunk of New York. The fuss about what to do with
Ground
Zero will turn to naught. It will be underwater.....

The case Gore makes is worthy of sleepless nights: Our Earth is
in
extremis . It's not just that polar bears are drowning because
they
cannot reach receding ice flows or that "The Snows of
Kilimanjaro"
will exist someday only as a Hemingway short story -- we can all
live
with that.....

An Inconvenient Truth
Copyright © 2006 Paramount Classics

Eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's
personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the
effects of
global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment,
Gore
presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful
and
compelling way. The film is not a story of despair but rather a
rallying cry.

3. There are so many *Inconvenient Truths* these days....

....and the rallying cry about the environment has been goin' on for decades without enough being done to rectify the problems...Clinton/Gore had 8 years to do A LOT MORE about things but chose not to....s'all over but the dyin' and cryin'. :nopity:
