I generally don't expend much energy debating global warming and climate change. I watched Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, and it scared me. I watch as extreme weather events kill thousands of people all over the world. I worry that polar ice caps are melting at such a rate that we could be in for a nasty climate shift that will make Hurricane Katrina look like a light drizzle.
Still, I don't spend much time debating because that's not my thing. I consider myself more of an educator. Accordingly, here's a really neat video my Aunt Betty sent me that makes a pretty compelling argument in favour of taking drastic measures to mitigate the effects of global warming. Right or wrong, the implications of the decisions we make today are serious enough that issues like this warrant some discussion. Perhaps this video will generate some of that.
Oh, a quick FYI: there are no polar bears in the video (I just really liked the symbolism in this photo).
