Climate “Disruption”

This afternoon, my wife and I attended a screening of “Disruption,” a documentary on climate change and a presentation of the work that 350.org has done to organize what we hope will be the single largest assembly of people in the history of humankind.  The film is a little under an hour in length, and it’s utterly fabulous; I hope you’ll take the time and stream it from the website linked above.

The level of action and enthusiasm on the part of many millions of people here in the U.S. is really heart-warming.  It’s clear that Americans are really starting to come around on this issue, and that we will no longer allow our “leaders” to remain the pawns of the fossil fuel industry.   We’re starting to demand change here, i.e., a firm, clearly-stated energy policy that phases out fossil fuels over a fairly short period of time.  I believe we’ll soon see exactly that.
