An Inconvenient Truth



An Inconvenient Truth
The Oscar® winning documentary that made global warming the number one topic of conversation.

The evidence is clear

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil and clearning forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and temperatures are rising. We're already seeing changes. Glaciers are melting, plants and animals are being forced from their habitats, and the number of severe storms and droughts is increasing.
There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral obligation to do so. Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to solve this problem is now.
Get involved
Your actions to reduce global warming can extend beyond how you personally reduce your own emissions. We all have influence on our schools, workplaces, businesses, and on society through how we make purchases, invest, take action, and vote. There are some ways you can have a positive effect on global warming.

  1. When I see this type of articles (about the global warming and etc.) I always remember of Josh Grahm's visual work and music. His visual works majorly show a world after the human extinction and how the Earth will cleanse itself after we're gone, how nature will heal the scars that we left here.

    In the sub-menu entitled "artwork" you can see what I'm talking about.

    His musical projects also focus on this kind of theme. In how human actions can have a major impanct in nature. A huge proof of that was the Four pests campaign in China, were millions of rats, flies, mosquitoes and sparrowes were killed. That kind of human action triggered a widespread famine that resulted in the death of more than thirty million people.
