[AGL] Joe Ben Clark recommends An Inconvenient Truth the movie

[Connie Clark]

Ok, Wayne.  I've had sleepless nights since hearing Gore's lecture and attending the movie, but here is an explanation of my comment.  He says scientists speculate that Greenland ice mass could slide into the ocean anytime in the next (outside 10 years), raising sea levels 20' or more, wiping out south Florida for one. Nobody knows for sure.
   
  So, I'm thinking we are basically doomed and the planet is on 'short time'.  But of course, Gore is saying that there is hope, and that we all need to pull our own weight, so to speak, by turning out lights, and using energy efficient this and that, and in particular better mileage on cars, and possibly get us back - he's figurin - down to the 70s level of the global warming trend. Anyway, the more people get the message (thru the movei), the more likely there will be a few more folks who will cut down on their fossil fuel consumption - thus reducing greenhouse gases.  Nothing you didn't already know, except that I believe our generation may not see very bad results of climate change (apocalypse?) - whereas the younguns most likely will.

          What do you mean "young people see this differently"?  How differently?  Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
   
  An explanation would reduce the panic factor among some of us (read: Wayne)
   
  Thanks. Wayne
