Environmental...
I know Alex and Pat both know far more about the environment than I do considering all I've done is read one book and take a semester and a half of "environmental technologies" so they might have more insight than I. This movie, however, looks awesome...and no, it's not because of who made it.

Agh, I can't open the link! What movie is it?
That looks like an interesting film. I guess even though I know it is happening, even see the possible evidence, I still can't quite get my mind around the idea that climate change is real, that our children's world may be more different from ours than I can possibly imagine.
Part of environmental sociology is the study of how environmental problems even come to be defined as such: like rainforest destruction, ozone layer depletion, threats of global famine, extinction of species--these issues have come into the public consciousness and then drifted away again, becoming non-issues even while their physical effects are still increasing. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out. I hope that people will see this film as Gore's honest endeavor to bring an important concern to light, rather than an apocolyptic attempt to gain attention for himself.
