An inconvenient film


Went to see this yesterday.

The biggest shocks were that:

-Howard STILL hasn't committed to signing the Kyoto protocol, and
-We can actually do things to turn this situation around.

The film's official website is well-designed and has some real information on what we can do at home and every day to reduce our personal carbon dioxide emissions. I'd like to buy a hybrid car, or even a Smart car, if they weren't so expensive.


I wonder if Howard will see this film. Somehow though, I doubt it. There is an great and fabulous article, written by Richard Neville, about the sad degradation of Australia and how we have become a lemming nation of lapdogs who fear innovation, marching onwards towards that great US flag in the distance. Via the mall and McDonald's.

If being 'unAustralian' means questioning our situation and especially our great leader, then so be it.
