This Weekend: Opening of An Inconvenient Truth

Josh Dorfman
As you know if you follow this site, I do not use this platform to preach or inform about anything other than stylish, cool, eco options that easily fit our lifestyles.

But when the scientific community is ringing an alarm bell about the state of our global environment, the moral imperative is clear. The consensus on global warming is as strong as it ever gets in the scientific community. Global warming is real. Humans are causing it. Our civilization is on a collision course with the earth’s ecosystems.

Yet solutions do exist.

I encourage you to see the movie An Inconvenient Truth featuring Al Gore during opening weekend that begins this evening. It provides a thoughtful, thorough account of the present environmental situation. And I hope you will join with me in the Virtual March against Global Warming, founded by Laurie David and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., through the website StopGlobalWarming.org. It is a simple but powerful step.

Courage is needed to stop global warming. There is a future that awaits us when we do. It is clean and noble and it can lead to a better way of life for all of us. We just have to seize it.

With hope,

Josh Dorfman

Right on target as usual, Josh! In one of my blogs, I pointed out that conservatives dismiss "An Inconvenient Truth" as doomsaying; but doomsaying has historically been necessary for change. Plus, the environmental gains some conservatives claim have been made in the past thirty years, are due (even in part) to activism (which may include doomsaying).

Not that it's surprising, but Dave Letterman's top ten list tonight ripped Al Gore's new movie a new one. The overarching mentality that global warming does not exist is still perpetuated by all forms of media, save perhaps NPR & PBS. Though Bushie appointed a nice conservative right wing woman to lord over PBS a few years ago. Anybody noticed any differences yet?
