Watching An Inconvenient Truth I was struck by several things.
First, I felt really bad for Al Gore. Getting the message out about global warming has been this guy’s life mission and, it seems, nobody is listening. He’s a passionate, smart, and interesting guy and it was heart wrenching to see him put his heart into this work and have it ignored
Second, at the end of the movie I wanted to sell my house and buy one with solar power and a wind mill. I feel far more concerned and aware of the energy I use. Even though I’ve replaced all my light bulbs in the house and keep my heat low when I’m not home, it just doesn’t seem enough. I don’t walk enough or bike enough.
The United States of America would be quite a different country if Al Gore was our president. We’d be a better country, a better contributor to the world as a whole, and maybe we’d have a chance to drive an electric car!
