Things that make you go Hmmmm.

For anyone that knows me, you know I'm a big believer in leaving as little a footprint on this earth as possible. I conserve, recycle, compost, walk instead of drive if possible, xeriscape, educate others on water conservation, etc... I'm not perfect, but I try. Ever since I saw "An Inconvenient Truth" I've been panic stricken about the damage we're doing to the earth.

And then I watched this, produced by the UK's Channel 4. (Which apparently is controversial? Hmm. Make the decision for yourself which is truth.)<-- eta

( Long and short of it under the cut )

I still fervently believe that we should not be such voracious consumers, that pollution should be curtailed, and alternative forms of oil energy need to be developed. I do not, however, think we will fall into an ice age any time soon. Nor do I believe that mankind is controlling the weather. (And how egotistical is that, really?) The overwhelming amount of information in this hour long film is heartening.

I love such well documented SCIENCE. *pets the data* Had a convo with my FiL and he concurs with the statements made by his fellow scientists in this film. (MIT, The International Weather Foundation, etc. etc.) And now, back to the scrubbing of the house, for I have guests coming, huzzah! And most likely singing various songs in my Al Gore voice, because it makes me laugh.
