Al Gore Film June 7, 2008

We showed An Inconvenient Truth as planned in the Bridge Centre - Haddington’s newest film venue. At the start there was a slight high whiny noise from the equipment. “Was it Al Gore?” some wag asked when I mentioned this later. No. Al Gore went carefully through why we should care about climate change in a deep southern drawl.
All in all not a bad turnout, considering the rival festival events, and some new folk have signed up to the newsgroup (hello!) following this. After the film we had a discussion which ranged from what we can do as individuals, to what governments really ought to be doing, with what communities could do in between. One of the things that seemed to make the most impression in the film was the graph at the end where Al Gore shows how much of a cut in CO2 emissions could be made now, in each sector, using existing technology, to make cuts needed. It can be done. All we’ve got to do is - do it, as Al Gore says, person by person, town by town, country by country.
