The vast majority of the world’s scientists think that our home is heading for ecological catastrophe if we go on heating it like we have been. Al Gore set out to convince the vast majority of the world’s population that we should do something about it. He presents his case in a clinical but passionate manner, with humour and hope. The film charts his journey from idealistic student to his bid for the Presidency of the United States. As the door to the White House closed in front of him, he took up the challenge of awakening the world to the effects of global warming.
The Inconvenient Truth is the result. With predicitons of flood, plague and pestilence, not to mention adverse weather conditions of epic proportions, this really is the scariest movie you are likely to see. And if you thought the effects are something for future generations to worry about - think again.
This film was released in 2006 - and 2007 did feel like the year politicians started ‘getting it’. Coincidence?
Following the film will be a discussion on what we could do here in Haddington to reduce carbon emissions. You are welcome to stay for this if you would like, or just come along for the film and see what all the fuss was about.
