The Movie that started it all

In 2006, a movie was released that would change the way our world would view the climate changes we are experiencing. It brought the topic to the forefront of the world stage, forcing leaders of all nations to think about their use of fossil fuels and our dependence on oil. Al Gore would go on to share the Nobel Peace Prize due to what he discovered in his research on global warming as he depicted it in An Inconvenient Truth.

I watched the movie and was horrified to see what has happened to our earth in the last century alone. Finally, the last 10 minutes of the film offered a glimmer of hope to what individuals can do to slow down the destruction of our atmosphere. The website that accompanies the movie, An Inconvenient Truth, does a great job defining global warming and what is happening around the earth. There is also a link to “Take Action”, which gives one ideas how to help locally, nationally, and internationally. It links to how one can become carbon neutral by answering questions similar to the calculator I mentioned in a previous blog.

Regardless of your political ties and leanings, it’s worth checking out. If you rent it, keep it on through the end credits, as Melissa Etheridge sings the theme song as the words are on the screen. Powerful.
