An Inconvenient Truth is opening is select cities right now. I’m almost tempted to say that it is a moral obligation for everyone to watch it - to refuse to do so, or to remain willfully ignorant about pressing environmental crises is to turn one’s back on humanity, and I don’t say that lightly. What is really worth watching about the movie are the photographs of what the earth has already lost, and the graphic projections of what we could still lose. Even if you already have the facts, it’s seeing the graphs, and photographs from space on the big screen that will make an impact on you and everyone you send to watch this film.
