An Urgent Appeal from the Climate Crisis Coalition

Today I got an email from the Climate Crisis Coalition that I want to reproduce here in its entirety:

Dear Friends,
Yesterday an important new documentary opened in New York City and Los Angeles. It is coming soon to other theaters around the country. "An Inconvenient Truth," featuring former Vice President Al Gore, is the most significant attempt to date to clearly communicate to all Americans the dangers that we face if we do not meet the reality of global warming.

"An Inconvenient Truth" has been hailed by critics: Claudia Pauig of USA Today as "illuminating, fascinating and sometimes frightening," A.O. Scott of the New York Times as "intellectually exhilarating...a necessary film," and Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times as "rousing." However, some pundits have labeled it “absurd,” and the ideas it inspires “destructive to the economy,” and many in the industry believe it is too unconventional to succeed at the box office.

We at the Climate Crisis Coalition believe it is essential that this film be a success. On behalf of Al Gore, we ask you to visit his site (www.climatecrisis.net) and pledge to see the film as soon as it opens in your community. Each person who signs this pledge will help ensure that the film is screened across the country. We hope that audiences will be convinced of its truth, no matter how inconvenient.

Please pledge to see the film here: http://www.climatecrisis.net/seethetruth.

We appreciate your help in promoting "An Inconvenient Truth."
