令人不适,却是事实

还要谈一谈阿尔戈尔的电影An Inconvenient Truth《一个令人不适的真相》,这是一部集科学性和趣味性的电影,这是对人类未来的担忧与呼吁。对于“差点就成为美国总统”的戈尔先生而言,或者也可以说是一份集个人奋斗史和地球血泪史于一体,为08年大选而准备的PS。但是我们不要因为一个人做事带着目的而怀疑这目的后面的真诚。把电影后的Wake me up选录如下,电影值得一看,做环境的一定要看。

 

The climate crisis can be solved, are you ready?

 

In fact, you can even reduce your carbon emission to zero.

Buy energy efficient appliances + light bulbs

Change your thermostat (use clock thermostat) to reduce energy for heating and cooling

Weatherize your house, increase insulation, and get an energy audit

Recycle

If you can, buy a hybrid car

When you can, walk or ride a bicycle

Where you can, use light rail or mass transit

Tell your parents not to ruin the world that you will live in

If you are a parent, join with your children to save the world they will live in

Switch to renewable sources of energy

Call your power company to see if they offer green energy. If they don’t, ask them why not?

Vote the leaders who pledge to solve this crisis, write to congress, if they don’t listen, run for congress

Plant tress, lots of trees

Speak up in your community, call radio shows and write newspapers

Insist that freeze CO2 emission

Join international efforts to shop global warming

Reduce our dependence on foreign oil, help farmers grow alcohol fuels

Raise fuel economy standards, require lower emissions from automobiles

If you believe in prayer, pray that people will find the strength to change

 

In the words of the old African proverb: when you pray, move your feet!

 

做个预告,122SG和清华绿协在环工系有个一个关于“气候变化会议”的小型论坛。今年参加了联合国气候变化会议的青年代表SH介绍他的参会见闻,我也会过去介绍去年参会的“宣言是怎样炼成的”和协会行动的情况和计划。总的围绕青年在气候变化中的参与、角色和行动展开交流,我想对全面了解气候变化领域很有帮助,同时也是北京地区对气候变化关注的青年们的一次聚会。欢迎感兴趣的朋友参加和捧场。1227号气候变化领域的前辈高风先生会来北大并在国关做个演讲,高风对于气候谈判简直太熟了,也是唯一在UNFCCC秘书处工作的中国人。敬请关注。
