Al Gore explains a scary truth

In all of recorded history, snow and ice have always been atop Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. In just the last 10 years, it has all but disappeared.

Melting glaciers, flooding rivers, killer droughts and monster hurricanes are just a few of the frightening, yearly manifestations of global warming on our planet. “An Inconvenient Truth” makes a powerful and intelligent case that greenhouse gases and rising temperatures are the driving forces behind these disturbing events. And that much worse is yet to come.

We’ve all heard about global warming as a theory. But it’s quite another thing to see dozens of stunning real-world examples of this exploding phenomenon. “An Inconvenient Truth” uses dramatic photographs and film clips to show dangerous climatic changes taking place at alarming speed.

Former Vice President Al Gore hosts this lesson using a sharp litany of facts, science, lively computer graphics and archival footage to make a compelling case.

If only a fraction of this film’s credible predictions come true, property values at the shore will face a whole new reality in a few short years. Whatever your politics may be, if you live in the flood zone, you must see this striking and sobering film.
