An Inconvenient Truth
Do you remember Al Gore, the man who would have been President had he won Florida? He’s been busy since that time, busy on a mission to wake up the USA and the world to the realities of global warming. He has given the same lecture over 1,000 times and, despite efforts of vested interests to silence him, is beginning to be heard. Such is the power of his presentation that it has been made into a full length feature film. Not a piece of fiction, not an over dramatisation, just this guy standing before a large audience of students telling it as it is but with quite stunning visuals. It is gripping, challenging, startling but with a hopeful message that a reversal is possible - if governments, businesses, organisations and individuals make changes now.
My wife Sue and I sat in an almost empty cinema for one of the earliest showings in Cheltenham. We came away with an overwhelming feeling that An Inconvenient Truth really should be compulsory viewing for all who make decisions about the way we do things now and in the future - and that includes the church. Go and see it.
