As I mentioned in an earlier blog, I wanted to show former vice president of the United States of America, Al Gore’s film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, in Sutton. Well, thanks to the Climate Challenge fund I have arranged for it to be shown twice at the UCI on 31st October at 10am and 3pm.When I saw this film back in the summer, it had a profound affect on me. It is a very important film and I would urge as many people as possible to see it. It takes a frank look at the state of the environment and pulls no punches in its assessment that the planet is heading for a global meltdown.
According to website http://www.climatecrisis.net/, which promotes the film, humanity is sitting on a time bomb and that there is about ten years left before a major catastrophe could threaten to destroy the planet.
Gore is very convincing and unlike people like James Lovelock, he doesn't want to scare us into action. He wants to present us with the fact and let us make up our own minds.
The film left more convinced than ever that climate change is having a devastating impact on our environment and unless we do something about it -- unless we all act to reverse the damage -- then we will leave a very bleak future for generations to come.
Tickets for the film are available free on a first come, first served basis. But they are going fast.
Local residents can book a maximum of two free tickets per household by calling Sutton Council on 020 8770 5070 or emailing stopclimatechange@sutton.gov.uk
