The Disappearing Earth
The day North Korea detonated a nuclear device I and some compatriots attended a film show in the FACT Centre Liverpool, a showing of An Inconvenient Truth.
The show was put together by the former American Presidential candidate Al Gore and the theme was global warming.
I mentioned in my previous blog about the earth hurtling towards oblivion and this film demonstrated that fact perfectly.
What was once the biggest lake in the world evaporated to the size of virtually a swimming pool.
Whole glaciers disappeared completely, polar bears found drowned (unknown before) when they tried to swim 50 miles to find an ice flow that was not there.
Aerial views of total devastation and when you see all the disasters like floods, fires, typhoons, tornados, failed crops etc. compiled into one hour you have to sit up and take notice.
He also demonstrated how some people (the old vested interests) deny that it is taking place, not believing what is in front of you, as they say.
However he showed how it could be reversed if the human race acts quickly.
This film should be shown free in every cinema in the world, then maybe we will get the reaction needed to put things right.
As always in these matters it is what we are leaving our children that matters.
