I just received this email (edited for space):
April 17, 2006 – With 2005 the warmest year in a century, and growing awareness that global warming is no longer abstract theory, but an alarming fact, here's a flash movie about climate change with a happy ending.
"Climate: A Crisis Averted" looks back from 2056 and recounts how ordinary citizens in 2006 – realizing that global warming was a scientific fact and not a climatic theory -- take action to demand clean energy and other planet-friendly options. The movie, which launched today on the internet, describes how a movement called RenewUS effected real change with an action plan, or 'call-to-arms' on global warming.
The four-minute film can be downloaded at www.RenewUS.org, or from the project partners websites – www.stonyfield.com, www.earthday.net , www.cleanair-coolplanet.org or www.greenbiz.com.
I watched the film and it is fun (e.g., my "big ol' laptop," the feel good, no collar wearing, windmill guy). I can understand how society will be better off without climate change than with, but how will the DOW soar over 20,000 based on green energy. I guess we must hope that someday, somehow, green energy will become significantly cheaper than fossil fuels (not the higher priced fossil fuels of tomorrow, but today's cheap prices). No one has explained that one to me yet.
If you're gonna try, please use demand and supply analysis.
