At this week’s CRAG meeting one of the things we discussed was Al Gore’s follow-up “movie” or lecture on Al Gore’s New Thinking On the Climate Crisis which was released this year. Not many people have seen this and I encourage you to watch it. It’s short. (26 minutes long) I personally found it to be quite motivating and much more action oriented than The Inconvenient Truth – which was often criticized for highlighting the climate change problem but not offering effective solutions.

We are planning to have a public showing of this film, probably in early February, followed by a discussion time – with one of the objectives being to get other people to start up their own CRAG.
In the meanwhile, I encourage you to download it and watch it.
You are also welcome to come to my house, where CRAG members can watch it as a group on Wednesday, Dec 10 at 7:45pm. (We’ll have some drinks, snacks and holiday cheer too!) After the movie we will discuss preliminary plans for our first public event.
Please let me know if you would like to attend and I can let you know the location of the meeting. (Walking distance from Ossington or Dufferin subway stations).
