Presentation transcript:

♦ A FREE MOVIE PRESENTATION ♦ AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH Sunday October 29 and Monday October 30 starting at 7:00 PM Location: Room 135 Fisher Hall “An Inconvenient Truth,” the popular documentary movie about global warming and climate change, will be shown at MTU. Former vice president Al Gore shares his concerns on the pressing issue of global warming and catastrophic climate change in this film. A long-time environmental activist, Gore first became aware of evidence on global warming in the 1970s, and since leaving public office he has become a passionate advocate for large- and small-scale changes in our laws and lifestyles that could help alleviate this crisis. An Inconvenient Truth records a multi-media presentation hosted by Gore in which he discusses the scientific facts behind global warming, explains how it has already begun to affect our environment, talks about the disastrous consequences if the world's governments and citizens do not act, and shares what each individual can do to help protect the Earth for this and future generations. Program Sponsors Michigan Tech Sustainable Futures Institute, Environmental Sustainability Committee, Center for Water and Society, Students for Environmental Sustainability, College Democrats, the Houghton County Democrats, and a private donor For more information, contact.
