The Green Action Film Series continues with the Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth," showing twice: on Monday, January 29th, at 7:30 in Gambrell 250 and on Wednesday, January 31st, at 7:30 in the Green (West) Quad Learning Center. Both screenings will be followed by a discussion led by Greg Carbone, from the Department of Geography. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to view the film and participate in a discussion led by USC's expert on climate issues. Pizza and soda will be provided at the Green Quad screening!

These screenings are in conjunction with the Campus Climate Challenge campaign, a project of more than 30 leading youth organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada (www.climatechallenge.org). The Challenge leverages the power of young people to organize on college campuses and high schools across Canada and the U.S. to win 100% Clean Energy policies at their schools. The Challenge is growing a generation-wide movement to stop global warming, by reducing the pollution from our high schools and colleges down to zero, and leading our society to a clean energy future. Partners include the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.

Here's the description of the film from the Sundance Film Festival:

"If global climate change is not properly addressed, all life on the planet will be devastated, regardless of geography, class, race, or creed. An Inconvenient Truth is the gripping story of former Vice President Al Gore, who became interested in this startling issue while at college 30 years ago, and now devotes his life to reversing global warming. Traveling the world, he has built a visually mesmerizing presentation designed to disabuse doubters of the notion that climate change is debatable. The heart of Davis Guggenheim's film is this elegant multimedia lecture itself, where Gore indisputably correlates CO2 emissions with exponentially rising temperatures, already responsible for dramatic climactic shifts like ice-cap melting, drought, and rising sea levels. This is activist cinema at its very best, for it serves to popularize and demythologize a problem long obscured by those most threatened by the solution. With humor and searing intelligence, Gore outlines crucial steps we must take to avert impending disaster and proves that inaction is no longer an option--in fact, it's immoral."
