An Inconvenient Truth

[P.C.]

I was so impressed with the presentation of this information.  I can't imagine anyone who has seen it, not changing the way they do things.......at the very least.....ONE thing.

I turned my conservative friend into an environmentalist because of this film.

I plan to see it if it comes to TV.  I can't stand the noise in a theatre.

[Sportsdude]

Its out on DVD now Kitten 

[P.C.]

We watched it through Shaw on demand.  It will also be showing in town this week with a discussion forum afterwards.

my family on the farm think this thing is made up and nothing is wrong and Al Gore just made this thing up so he could become rich.

Im a member on a number of US boards and this seems to be the general concensus. They have the same general opinion about farenheit 9/11 and the mcdonalds one.

I don't have a DVD player, and I only get the basic channels on TV.  That's why I haven't seen it yet.

Does your computer play DVD's?

I wouldn't be so hard on them though because there seems to be an orginized campaign to ridicule anyone who might believe that the change in climate is being sped up by humans. I wonder who would do that? Maybe the same people, who many decades ago,  ripped up the train tracks in LA and destroyed any possibility of rapid transit there.

The only time nature is out of balance,  can be directly related to man. From the pine beetles that are destroying our forests,  the depletion of salmon, the list of extinct or endangered animals, our polluted lakes and oceans.....all of it.  Somewhere down the line, these imbalances have had some assistance.

Oh they will, we will probably wipe ourselves out.

I do plan to watch it soon.

Pretty remarkable documentary. Disturbing and insightful, who would have thought that Al Gore was capable of showing what we don't want to see in the first place.

 

Kinda depressing but maybe, it's the wake-up call we need to heed to.
