Leonard Pitts. timely again, and right on the nose
3 JulRain falls hard on doubts about global warming
I saw “An Inconvenient Truth” for the second time last night. lasarina and I took unarmed_dreamer and ergothevirgo to see it for their first time.
In words of one syllable: It makes you think.
Yes, that’s a quote from Leonard Pitts. Here’s another one:
As I write these words, it is sunny, 79 degrees and easy to be sanguine. Except, sanguinity has come to feel a little like New Orleans before Katrina, or New York on Sept. 10. For me, at least, the word ”can’t” washed away last week in the deluge of a day when the rain would not stop.
Read the article.
Here’s a link to my original post about the film.
Neo-Con/Theocrat Catch-22?
12 JunApparently, global warming is increasing rates of evolution. I love the quote here
Wow, what a catch-22! They can continue to ignore global warming but risk causing the body of evidence in favor of evolution to grow even faster, thus making it more difficult to sneak religious ideas in classrooms. On the other hand, if they try to reverse climate change, they’ll have to actually admit that global warming is real and caused by humans.
See the original article in the National Geographic magazine. Thanks, jokermage, for bringing this one to my attention.
Minor plug: you really should go see An Inconvenient Truth, if you have not already done so.

An Inconvenient Truth
11 JunOn the strong urging of sollite, we (lasarina and I) got our old creaky selves moving and went to see a late showing last night of Al Gore’s documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. We tried to see an 8pm showing and found that one to be sold out. So we bought advance tickets for 9:45pm, found a place to hang out in walking distance of the theater, and then came back to see the film. The film is powerful and frightening. (Trailer 2:30)
The New York Magazine did a great review of the film here:
Devastating in Its Implications
Go see Al Gore’s new documentary—and then pay attention to who attacks it.
