A couple weeks ago I went to see Al Gore's new film An Inconvenient Truth.

I'd recommend ya'll see this film because Gore puts forth a very strong argument for global warming in a way that's visually comprehensive and entertaining.

Unfortunately, Gore stresses the political side of the issue, which some people might view as a campaign commercial for himself, but if viewers can look past that to the statistics and information presented, the urgent message comes through loud and clear.

My only real criticism of the film is that Gore spends an hour and a half convincing you there is a major climate crisis occurring, but he offers very few solutions or suggestions about how the average person can help make a difference.

However, I was pleasantly surprised to watch this talk he did at TED earlier this year where he lists some ways households can contribute to reducing CO2 emissions, and I found his website a little helpful as well:

Check it out.
