AnInconvenientTruth

 "The Era of Procrastination, of 
Half-Measures, of Soothing and
Baffling Expedients, of Delays,
is Coming to its Close.

In its Place We are Entering a
Period of Consequences."

- Sir Winston Churchill (November 12, 1936)

"It's just human nature to take time to connect the dots...I also know that there can be a day of reckoning when you wish that you could have connected the dots more quickly."   - Al Gore

Regret. Often times we make mistakes in our lives, big or small, and never realize it until it is too late. Only when we look back do we see more clearly what we should have done. Scientists have been warning again and again about the consequences of global warming. Opponents argue that this phenomenon that's taking place right now is being exaggerated, that it is just a period that Earth is going through, like the Ice Ages from before.

So, which side is right?

Does it really matter though? We all know that many of our habits, our wasteful way of life, is hurting nature. So why not just change, and whether this global warming is a crisis or not, if we take action, humans will have done something for the better. We will have helped protect the earth and environment for future generations to come.

I'm going to watch The Great Global Warming Swindle next, which takes a stance against An Inconvenient Truth.
