Global Warming at a Theater Near You


The threat of global warming has finally burst into the public's consciousness with last year's category 5 hurricanes and a steady stream of scientific studies about the alarming disappearance of Arctic sea ice.

Now we're about to get another wake-up call: a riveting documentary called "An Inconvenient Truth," which features Al Gore's acclaimed presentation about the here-and-now realities of global warming. I've seen Al's presentation and I can tell you it's well worth the price of admission. It has enthralled audiences around the world and inspired them to demand change.

NRDC has been fighting for more than a decade to win forward-looking policies that can defuse the global warming crisis. But we need this film and many more like it to alert America to the stark choice now facing us: our government can avert a global warming catastrophe by taking action right now, or condemn our children to a future of drought, disease, floods and lost ecosystems.

"An Inconvenient Truth" opens in New York and Los Angeles on May 24 and nationwide in June. You can watch a trailer of the film and find a theater near you where it will be playing by going to this link: http://www.climatecrisis.net I hope you'll see it and spread the word.

    Quote Of The Day: Al Gore Says Its OK To Lie About Global Warming Because Darn It, It's Important!
    Right Wing News ^

    "In the United States of America, unfortunately we still live in a bubble of unreality. And the Category 5 denial is an enormous obstacle to any discussion of solutions. Nobody is interested in solutions if they don't think there's a problem. Given that starting point, I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous (global warming) is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis." -- Al Gore
