“Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If the vast majority of the world’s scientists are right, we have just ten years to avert a major catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tail-spin of epic destruction involving extreme weather, floods, droughts, epidemics and killer heat waves beyond anything we have ever experienced.”
So say the makers of An Inconvenient Truth – a new film following former US Vice President Al Gore as he tours the world in a bid to alert people to the imminent dangers of climate change. The film hasn’t made it to Zambia yet, but is now showing in UK cinema’s, and by all accounts is accessible and entertaining -arguing that global warming is not just about science, nor is it just a political issue: it is a moral issue and we all have a responsibility to do something about it.
If you want to do something about it…. Tearfund is campaigning on climate change and part of the Stop Climate Chaos coalition which is planning a huge rally in London’s Trafalgar Square – the I Count rally will take place on Saturday 4 November from 1-3pm in case you can go.
