2040

And this week's Friday night movie has been....2040!

So this movie has been doing the rounds lately: It's a documentary made by one Damon Gameau with his own take on climate change - which takes the form of presenting solutions that are currently available and seeing what would happen in 2040 if they were applied now.

When it comes to climate change, all I'm hearing is a whole lotta bad. Everyone's saying how irrevocably doomed we all are yet no one is offering an solution that doesn't involve accusation and anger. So it is welcome for someone to say that these solutions are possible, they should be implemented and they are ultimately beneficial. So yes, this documentary is indeed enlightening and Gameau has enough charisma and conviction to get his point across.
Could've done without his attempts at humor though (seriously that yoga gag got real old real fast).

But in the end I enjoyed this documentary and, as a call to arms, it is effective. Go see it!
