Something worth mentioning

Living on the west coast of Canada, I'm aware of environmental issues. I know about Global Warming and it's impact on our planet. When I was in high school we recycled and knew it was a good thing. I have always had one question about Global Warming... Can we solve the problem? If we do the "right" things will the planet survive, will we even make a difference? Will there be a winter, spring, summer and fall? And can I visit the places on earth that are so beautiful forever? I've been sad because the answers have always been foggy. The media has never known what to say. They distort and report the horrible stories about our impending doom, without any sign of hope. I have always thought to myself that if someone would just tell me the earth will be okay if we act now, then I'll believe them. But I'm always amazed to find that there is no one that will say it. I just wanted to say that no matter what kind of person he is, whether he is motivated for the right reasons or not, Al Gore, should be thanked for his efforts. I watched "An Inconvenient Truth" today, and I'm so happy as a human being that this movie exists as a testament to a man's drive and dedication to an important issue. He answered my questions in an informative and shocking way. He said that we can make a difference that it's not too late if we do what we can, and we have the tools now to start. That was all I needed to know to believe. I think others must feel the same. I do hope everyone can see the film and at least talk about the issues. Thanks Al. You deserve the praise and accolades.
