Global Warming???

I find it very interesting when predictions come to fruition. 1999 Ron Howard released the movie Edtv. Figure the concept for this movie was hatched a few years before that. The movie is about a regular guy they put on TV to follow around his daily life. It's interesting how the film pre-dated the flood of reality tv, but accurately illustrated how it can make a celebrity out of anyone.

So what does that have to do about Global Warming aside from all the additional hot air for psuedo celebrities produced from reality junk.... might be on to something there???

Okay, so if you haven't read State of Fear yet, it follows a lawyer who learns of a group that questions the assumption of Global Warming. Somehow, Global Warming has been marketed to become the key issue of today. Amazing considering how the promotion of supporting the cause of Global Warming is a component of the book, and it has actually happened.

Anyways, in the video, he talks about his next book "Next" for the first 22 minutes, but the rest is about his views on the issue of Global warming. (for those who don't want to read the book)

Let's hope we can become a society that lives cleaner and cares about the environment. Environmental issues are real. Unfortunatly our governments don't know what to do and it isn't enough of a "hot" topic. The industries that cause pollution in our air cause pollution in our water and our soil. Water and soil pollution is not debated, and neither should our air pollution that is causing global warming. There needs to be a consumer revolution.
