The Inconvenient Truth is really aptly named.

Just got around to seeing inconvenient truth.
have seen similar messages in exhibits over the years, but this was really an excellent film, with all the right messages and timing.
I have always thought this. It is the last 50 to 150 years since the industrial revolution that has really changed the tide. A blessing and a curse. There is no escape, yet nothing is being done, not strong enough, compelling enough to stop the trends. It is so demoralizing.

If you think you know the issues but haven't seen the movie yet, you really must see it.
very well done. It's hard to believe it hasn't convinced congress to change policy. reckoning. And inciting American public to demand change. Time keeps marching on at a dizzying pace. I am really scared to see the updates since 2005.

They claim there have been loads of changes, reducing environmental impact. www.climatecrisis.net www.climatecrisis.net
But I think those changes have barely scratched the surface, give the exponential trends gaining momentum.

I feel the same about Pickins and Michael Moore. They have the right message, but powers that be are not taking their messages seriously. Not seriously enough. Why is that. I can't understand. I must be dense and naive.

Why are Americas so dense about these things? They don't want to face the truth even when it is staring them in the face. They couldn't have picked a better title for this movie.
We have know about these issues and potentialities for years, but we aren't doing enough to arrest the inevitable global warning and other environmental and health disasters. It is horrifying. troubling.

Thinking about the recent Tsunami... I am sure it is no accident...
The crescendo pitch of these natural disasters. Or the excessive rains and weather planetwide. Yet we are not heeding the warnings, making the necessary changes.
What of the children, the grand children.

I have always tried to conserve and be conscious. But unless everyone starts making inconvenient life changes, heeding the warnings of the same drummer, all is for naught.

It is like everything is an isolated event, let me entertain you attitude... Give All a medal for the film. Next.

Very sad. Film Creates a fury. Then it dies down. And America is fascinated by the latest trivial media frenzy. Not me. I could care less about Sheen and Britany and all the others that I know nothing about. Very sad commentary on our world.

People are even becoming desensitized to calamities. I can't figure it out.
I guess for many it takes all their time and energy to cope with every day, and they think that someone in Washington is doing this important work. NOT.

I don't even have a representative to complain to.

Maybe he is right that he lost his platform for his message. This country sure lost a lot more when we lost Al Gore's presidential bid. Maybe he would have made a difference.

Got to get more traction on this, again.
