desoto_hia873I asked for Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth for Christmas, but no one gave it to me. So I bought it for myself and watched it tonight.
Wow.
We are so doomed. We're living on Easter Island and cutting down our last trees to make big heads, and no one's asking, "Wait. Is this really a good idea?" Well, no one except Al Gore, perhaps.
Go, see it for yourself. If you look, you can find it on bit torrent sites. Somehow, I don't think he'd mind if you watched it that way.
And then imagine what the world might be like now if he'd won that damn election.
ETA: If you're looking for similar material to read, try A Short History of Progress by Ronald Wright. It's not just about global warming--it's about how civilizations do themselves in time after time.
