An Inconvenient Truth is already being coined as “alarming” and “frightning”. Perhaps that is why the big oil companies are running scared and getting ready to spend their money (or should I say our money) to launch counter ads, as Think Progress points out:
Today, the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) will unveil two 60-second TV ads focusing on what it calls “global warming alarmism and the call by some environmental groups and politicians to reduce fossil fuel and carbon dioxide emissions.” The ad, which will be aired in more than a dozen cities across the country, is being released just a week before the May 24th opening (in LA and NYC) of Al Gore’s new movie on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.
The groups like CEI are the ones that let people like Bush say “the jury is still out on global warming”. In fact the jury is in and the corporate whores are the ones who want to argue with the science. Our planet is warming, which no one disputes, but the warming being caused by humans is the question. It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that we use the atmosphere as our sewer for things like factories and automobiles. Every sewer needs a good rooting out every once in awhile, and the atmosphere is no different. When the rooting out of the atmosphere occurs it will be catastrophic.
Al Gore is working hard to raise the awareness of what our planet faces if they don’t change their ways. This movie is a great addition to his already growing arsenal of information delivery. Click the link below to check out the trailer for this spectacular movie.
