I finally saw this important movie last night. A local church group sponsored it, a very cool group called "Interfaith Power and Light".

Go see this movie if you haven't already. If you can't find a showing in a theater, rent or buy the DVD. It is really the mother of all wake up calls. Most of the basics about global warming have become a part of popular culture, but seeing this presentation by Al Gore brings the message home with a real immediacy.

We all need to get off our complacent butts and start becoming more active to effect change, or things are going to be getting much worse much sooner than we think.

I am writing this on a morning when Chicago had a record snowfall, its earliest on record, Oct. 12. Although the snow was lovely, it is part of the goofy weather patterns that are a symptom of the radical changes that are happening all around us.

It is our children and grandchildren that are really going to suffer the effects of our complacency if we don't get busy. Don't leave the tragic legacy of a ruined planet because we were too busy watching the next episode of "Grey's Anatomy".
