An inconvenient truth... Did you see the movie?

I have that movie but don't feel that brave to watch it. Because the facts that I have to face scare me :( I am always trying to do my best for global warming but what else can I do by myself. So these kind of movies despairing me :(

I have seen it. We actually do alot for our enviroment in everyday life. We live in the country so we have other ways of doing things that city dwellers cannot do. We raise our own food, recycle soda cans, use rock from our land to use in landscaping. we really do a lot of things.

I saw the movie and thought it was well researched and presented. As usual my training in reporting and journalism comes into my perspective on things. After watching "An Inconvenient Truth" I spoke to a few friends with scientific backgrounds and one who works for environment Canada. Their views reflect a more neutral viewpoint. According to our 'weather friend' some scientists in his field say that it is hard to predict long range outcomes because years ago they were sure that an ice age was eminent. They accept there are changes. However, many are unsure how much of that is due to what humans are doing or whether the shifts are a result of natural geological/environmental changes that continually take place in nature all the time. In our region of Canada this area used to be a tropical area the hills we have surrounding us were once Lake Aggassiz. Our environmental friend continually says that we tend to look at weather changes within our lifetimes and what happens within it. Scientists I have interviewed have a much broader/longer/expansive view of weather changes and how they affect the earth. They assess things over a much longer time and that is why many of them are unwilling to get on the 'we are doomed' bandwagon. During my interviews with them it is part of the reason they have been disinclined to put their credibility of the line and state that the reason we are seeing the changes we are is strictly because of what humanity has been doing. The industrial age has not been around for that long...looking at earth changes with a longer measuring stick seems to be a sensible approach to me. I refuse to get into pessimistic thinking about anything...including earth changes. There is growing awareness about the importance of 'living green' in many segments of modern society and within other countries and cultures as well. If we throw up our hands and say we are on a runaway train and there is no hope of redemption people may give up their commitment to doing their small part is re-cycling, re-suing, composting etc and that would only make existing problems worse. So in closing my view is this..Are they changes occurring...yes! Is humanity contributing to the problem...absolutely! Is it hopeless...not at this point. Do I choose optimism over pessimism...whenever possible? You bet I do!!!! So there are so questions...and some answers. Probably not what you were looking for...but this is what we do here and I love sharing ideas with you my friend. Cheers, Raia

no i'll see the movie...the pollution will create a lot of trouble in the future that is sure ...anyway what to do people are so selffish... Regards Harry
