The day after ( movie ) can be a great PR about global warming

[hertopos]

I just checked their website.
I am not quite sure if I am allowed to put the link to their web site.
My post was deleted when I post the link to anime about environment.

It is not hard to get the web site. Go to Yahoo or google.

Anyway, the web site is more like one big PR site about global warming. I am very impressed.

I am hoping that this movie become a lightening rod about the concern about global warming.

I am hiring baby sitter to see this move.

1. Must See

This is the first new movie in a long time that I will go out of my way to see in the theater. Looking forward to it ... and I hope it'll open some eyes about global warming and what's happening around us, too.

3. Did you check its web site?

The web site is really cool and very political.
I read two reviews. As a movie, the best part is all destrution sequence, they say. But they also added that reveiwers added its very clear message. ( The review was from UK screaning.)

I cannot wait.

2. I've been posting the link for at least six months

I have no idea why this would be verboten. It's not like promoting a specific product -- and this is an issue film, which is going to be in the news through the summer.

Roland Emmerich, the director, has also made a large contribution to plant trees in deforested areas. He hopes that the trees will balance the "carbon debt" he incurred making the movie.

The scenario is outlandish, but the elements are not. Climate change can, and does, happen quickly. It's possible that a climate change could happen in a matter of a few weeks, but the current theories say "less than a decade" (Robert Gagosian at Woods Hole) to "around half a century" (Wallace Broecker at Lamont-Doherty/Columbia U).

4. NPR has been interviewing global warming "experts"

It's an apparent effort to mitigate the damage of the film.

Yesterday, they had the anti-global warming guy.

Today they had the pro- guy, and they spent a lot of time telling us how eccentric he was. They kept saying he didn't use computers, even though he said that he has an assistant who does all the computer modeling.

But when they get down to his proposed solutions, it sounds like something not to threatening to the oil industry: build a big machine that sucks the carbon out of the air and turn it into rocks (diamonds?). They guy says there's no way to reduce consumption of fossil fuels, so don't bother.

I'm waiting for NPR to interview the person who will say that we have to switch to wind, solar, and clean-buring fuel sources.

5. NPR is now rigth wing?

There are so many things we can do and should do.
Stop deforestation and plant more tree.
Use fuel efficient car.
Well, you can switch to Hybrid car. ( They are not only better at milage but also emit less problematic gas.)

In this country, everything is so backward. Car company alone, there are so much you can do.

Well, I am just hoping this movie and Michael Moores new movies will do some work for Democrats.

6. i can already see how the RW would try to spin it

they'll say the movie has more to do with a shift in the gulf stream, which would not be man made. so pollute away!!!!

7. That's aweful.

I just checked Yahoo movie site for this movie. It is kind of funny there are freepers like people and more educated one are already arguing.

Well, any publicity is good. The movie will make people, who never thought about global warming, wonder "?".

Too many people in this country don't have a clue how backword Republicans are compared to the rest of the world.

Now, China and India is in the picture, if U.S. won't get its act together, climate change will happen much sooner than many people tend to expect. ( Actually, our climate is changing even compared to say 20 years ago.)
