An Inconvenient Truth

Yes, Al Gore whose Oscar winning movie An Inconvenient Truth made waves earlier, did get hot under the collar recently with those who deny the inconvenient reality of global warming. Yes, he did use some rather salty language which belied his dignity a tad. But he has a big point to make, and those who are late to the game are more hard-pressed than ever in the task of sticking their heads in the sand at the evidence of global warming. His point is that until we recognize the facts, we cannot possibly accept what we're doing to the Earth and take action to correct our mistakes. Unfortunately, we may already be too late. Dependence on fossil fuels, unabated mismanagement of resources, wasteful and toxic human practices are taking their toll on our environment.

We all need to wake up and smell the coffee on this critical issue. Scientists and environmentalists from all areas of study continue to point to the same incontrovertible conclusions. When will you get involved in making this earth a better place for yourself and your fellow man? What about now?
