The sound track from Melissa Ethridge - “I Need To Wake Up” from al Gore’s documentary An Inconvenient Truth. The song also won an oscar for best original song.
Also, Gore used his Oscar speech to help draw attention to the message behind An Inconvenient Truth.
I understand focusing on one issue, but I’m not content with just “waking up” on the issue of climate change. The issue is larger than that - we as a society need to operate less on superstition and magical thinking, and more on facts and reason. Yet we still live in a society where the popular discussions of science are dominated by global warming skeptics, creationists, and Right-wing (for a lack of a better term) bioethics (e.g. the stem cell issue); about one in six Americans is scientifically literate. Why is this situation tolerable?
