Film Society to screen an impartial examination of the causes behind climate change

‘An Inconvenient Truth’ earned tons of awards by taking such a clear stance: Al Gore clearly believes that climate change is a man-made phenomenon. On the other side of the fence, climate change deniers are cackling over every irregularity they have found in a recently hacked climate research email archives.

Tired of all the hyperbole? Come to see our screening of "A Global Warning", a film that strives hard to take a much more impartial stance, presenting evidence both for and against the hypothesis that global warming is a man made phenomenon.

The film starts by presenting the now all too familiar details about Arctic ice melting, sea levels rising, and glaciers shrinking.  It then delves deep into the many forces, both natural and man-made that may be causing all this havoc.  Yes man-made C02 may certainly be a causative factor, but other forces are at play as well. The film follows scientists as they explore the warming effects of the sun and dig deep into the Earth to study continental movement and the volatile activity at the planet’s core. Experts speculate on how natural events, including volcanic eruptions and massive meteor impacts, have affected temperatures and weather systems over the planet’s 600-million-year history.

Shot on location at some of the most breath-taking locations on the planet, and filled with dynamic special effects, "A Global Warning" is a captivating look at the Earth’s climatic evolution and a study of the longevity of our planet—and man’s future on it."
