my obessions

i’ve added a side section that reveals where i really daydream the most.

global warming?

last wed. it was beautiful, sunny and reaching 70 degrees, but then by the next morning it was 20 degrees and we continued to get 4 inches of snow. a little bit strange. the funny thing is that the day before we just finished watching al gore’s “an inconvenient truth.” it surprisingly was a great film. al was articulate and i only fell asleep because i was truly too tired. i was skeptical throughout the whole film because it just seemed to have amazing facts backed with scientific info, but lacked any solutions. the skepticism ended with the closing credits, were they listed all the things that one could do to help reducing emissions. even though the solutions were a small part of the movie, it seems that the main purpose was just to overthrow any contradicting viewpoints (usually steeped in science-based conclusions). i didn’t know that al gore had been involved in the environment for as long as he had and it made me think about how he portrayed himself during his last political campaigns, as a middle-of-the-road tree hugger. i know that he was just trying to keep votes with the more right-leaning moderates, but to us more radical idealists he would of been much more believable if he stuck to his guns. i think that everyone should see the film and try not to feel like our kids are going to see the end of anything green, breathable and beautiful.
