An inconvenient truth – Global Warming is a scientific reality

An inconvient truth

I saw the movie on June 24th. It’s a very powerful film. It challenges the apathy of the US in the face of a global climate crisis. Although there are no plans for it to visit Clarksville, it is playing now in Nashville and I highly recommend it.


With wit, smarts and hope, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH ultimately brings home Gore’s persuasive argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue – rather, it is the biggest moral challenge facing our global civilization. – http://www.climatecrisis.net/aboutthefilm/

Now thru June 29th: Regal Green Hills 16
June 30th – July 4 : Opry Mills theatres

By Bill Larson | June 27, 2006 | Print This Post

 

This is a press release from MoveOn.org

Campaign for an oil-free futureTomorrow is the big day: thousands of MoveOn members from Nashville, Tennessee to Phoenix, Arizona will come together at more than 300 rallies across the country to demand an “oil-free” future.

Tomorrow’s National Day of Action is really important because this weekend is the 4th of July holiday and gas prices are on everyone’s minds. We need to seize this moment to make sure the media and the public know that the Republican addiction to oil money is keeping gas prices high and holding America back from the clean energy future that we desperately need.

Can you join us at a rally in Clarksville? «Read the rest of this article»
