This past May, a new documentary film premiered in Los Angeles, the film entitled An Inconvenient Truth. Though many films premiere in this town, its especially fitting that this film would premiere there as the focus of the documentary is global warming and Los Angeles has one of the most polluted airsheds in North America.
The documentary is based on a slideshow presentation that Gore used as the basis for the film. He has been evangelizing about this topic since the 1980s, and has taken an active interest in the topic since the late 1960s.
The film itself is very good. We went a couple of weeks ago and all came out of the theatre in a noticably more sombre mood than when we went in. Don’t get me wrong this isn’t a particularly depressing movie, but it demonstrated and provided scientific evidence some of which dates back over ten millenea.
Go see the movie. Go visit the website. Go find the book. Learn what’s in there, most of it isn’t rocket science and we’ve already heard it before. But we’re not listening, and it always helps to hear it again. Alright… thats enough from me. Conserve your power, drive your electric car, and use your recycled cloth shopping bag to buy your organic groceries.
