My brother is in Melbourne for a few days! Today we saw ‘An Inconvenient Truth‘, the movie about Global Warming by Al Gore, whom President Bush narrowly (and controversially) beat to the White House in 2000.

If you haven’t yet seen it, do so.

This movie is a must-see doco on global warming that will terrify and, hopefuly, wake enough people that our governments will start listening and taking action, and ordinary people will start changing their lifestyles.

It’s that last bit (changing lifestyles) that is the hardest. Gore says (rightly) that Global Warming is a moral issue. It’s a moral issue because our lifestyles and common environmental malpractice are killing and displacing millions, and causing mass extinction of species. The science is true and undeniable. We are to blame. The longer we wait to do something, the worse the impacts will be (and the impacts are already being felt).

I hope Christians and others will be motivated by this film to be good stewards. We’ve been warned before.

What’s scary is that the cause of Global Warming boils down to sin - our greed and selfishness - and this basic problem is not going to lessen. At least not unless there is a radical God-given shift in the hearts of millions.
