An Inconvenient Truth

I saw this Al Gore documentary on Climate Change at the Little this morning. It is frighteningly frank about global warming and its consequences. The ice in the Arctic and Antarctic continues to melt and eventually sea levels will rise by about 20 feet, flooding many low lying places and making millions of people homeless, particularly in the developing world.

None of this is new. Its just that the presentation of the issues is done in a very professional manner by an accomplished speaker and politician, known around the world and the issues are covered more comprehensively than in any other documentary that I have seen. Al Gore starts out with the quip "I was at one time the next President of the United States".

Al Gore is optimistic that Climate Change can be reversed. He believes we have all the means at our disposal at present to avert disaster, but that we lack the Political Will to do so.

Go see it at the Little from 15th September and visit the web site www.climatecrisis.net
