It's The End Of The World As We Know It & I Feel Fine....

I recently watched the An Inconvenient Truth which is a presentation by Al Gore on the climate crisis. It's probably the scariest non horror film you will see this year....
It seems that climate is changing dramatically and it could have a severe effect on the world as we know it. One of the main points to come through is:

• The carbon concentration of the atmosphere is higher than it has ever been and this results in an increase in temperatures
• This increase is causing the ice shelves in the Arctic and Antarctic to melt and crumble
• If the ice shelves continue to melt at current rate then there is a potential for the global sea levels to rise by more than 20 feet which would devastate coastal areas worldwide where hundreds of millions of people live

Scary stuff indeed. It seems many politicians are doing ostrich impersonations at the moment so it is up to individuals to start trying to reduce their own carbon outputs. Of course with the increasing amounts of fossil fuels and cars in the Far East this may have little overall impact.....

If anyone is interested in reading further here is a link to the website to accompany the film:
