An Inconvenient Truth

lessons learned:
1. don't have kids. there's simply not enough room for the projected 9billion people since we live on a pixel and our ice land masses are melting. unless we develop ways to swim forever or live on water, we're doomed.
2. siberia is about to let a big one go. good thing i'll be having gas mask refresher training soon.
3. al stands for albert.

seriously though, this movie was enlightening and motivational in that he makes the point that we as individuals can make a difference (yes, the same old message but a little more pertinent as i don't want to be alive when we're all crammed in siberia and she lets it go).
