this is true, but as even i am androcentric (and still wish there was a gender neutral term for that), i tend to go with the people thing.

For the planet no damage has been done.
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.
Reverence is fine, Sanctity is silly.
We're all fucked, it helps to remember that.

I see your point. So, some people get what they deserve.  :-\

Still, if you take humanity as a whole, rather than focusing on the kids and the tsunami victims, we actually do get what we deserve. Why do you think that we can cry when we see a fucking kitten abused on TV but stay completely neutral reading about another 50 people dead yesterday in Bagdad?

the same reason that people went apeshit over the 11th of september 2001, but more or less ignored the 25,000 dead in bangladesh (or whatever appalling number it was), at around the same time.

whatever they say, people have their own agendas, and respond to stuff they think is to do with them.

How about this ... I agree with Lucifer about something; I've seen the film (the whole film) and it's really alarming stuff.

Btw, I saw it 3 weeks ago, so ner to all the Brits.

they respond what the media dictates they should respond to.

if the media took a serious view about the environment, so would the humans.

oh and i forgot. that will never happen.

because the media is owned by the same people (multi-international conglomerate)  who are raping the environment, or they have the same interests as the rapists.

Well, the trailer gives a pretty good idea of what to expect: lots of striking images of receding glaciers, droughts, storms etc. Also, there are plenty of graphs. The correlation between levels of CO2 and temperatures (over however many millions of years) are similarly striking.

I hadn't realised till I saw the film how overwhelming the scientific consensus was on climate change.
There were a couple of interesting analogies for people who are still not convinced: one, the fact that the theory of Continental Drift (about how the continents were once joined but later moved apart etc.) was once similarly ridiculled, and two, the fact that smoking was once considered to be safe.

Al Gore's sister actually died of lung cancer. There's a bit about this in the film. Some might find this "a bit American" (as they say), but I didn't mind it. There are several little biographical bits in the film.

At one stage Al Gore seemed to be saying that by missing out on the presidency he gained the opportunity to do what he's doing now. I thought this was a bit strange. I thought surely he'd have more influence on climate change if he'd become President.

Probably because as President he'd come under political pressure from Big Oil.
