A Global Warming Documentary

Here is an interesting documentary on global warming. If you are doing research, this is a good place to start! In short, it's true. Global warming is happening, it's mankind's fault, and it's our responsibility to fix it. On a related note, Live Earth, a series of concerts being held on 7/7/07 to raise awareness about global warming, is a wonderful place to learn what you can do to help stop global warming. Good luck!
