As many of you know, Al Gore’s movie on global warming, “An Inconvenient Truth” will be released on May 24th.
The movie’s website is here, and they’re taking pledges to see the movie over the opening weekend. They currently have over 32,000 signatures, but let’s try and make it a 100,000 signatures or more, before the movie opens.
If this diary makes the recommended list, we will get a step closer to achieving that goal, hence your recommendations will be much appreciated.

I would like to propose the following step-by-step action items to promote both the movie and the cause:
1. Visit the climatecrisis.net site, watch the trailer and take the pledge in case you haven’t done so already.
- Email the site URL to as many people in your close circle (of friends, family, and co-workers) as you can, and also ask them to send it to a few close friends of their own.
- Post diaries here, at other community blogs, and your own blogs and sites at reasonable periodicity (at Daily Kos, please check the tags “Al Gore” and “Al Gore”).
- Read up on global warming (unless you’re well versed with the area already), and engage in discussions about it with your friends and family members about it. Here is a good site with extensive coverage of the subject: newscientist.com Instant Expert: Climate Change (please use the phrases “global warming” and “climate crisis” instead of the routine sounding phrase “climate change”).
- Post promotionary buttons on your blogs and websites. Here is a simple minded one (code will be posted in the comments section. if someone with better graphics skills can post better button images, their help will be appreciated):
Thanks for your recommends and for any initiative you take to promote the movie.
