a LIVE PRESENTATION of the slideshow that's changing America's mind

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

The scientific evidence on global warming is as disturbing as it is definitive. Increasing carbon emissions is a challenge to our planet and all who inhabit it. This is not a challenge that awaits us in the future, it is here now, and we must both acknowledge it and address it. The slideshow presentation is based on the award-winning documentary film, "An Inconvenient Truth". It is roughly an hour long presentation of the scientific evidence intended to appeal not to scientists but to average citizens. It is also constantly being updated to reflect current events and facts. It is a call to action. It is intended to awaken the conscience and prompt individuals to take action both individually and collectively. This version of the documentary is educational and has been carefully prepared to raise as many questions as it answers. The goal of The Climate Project is to provide the ammunition necessary to arm citizens with the facts needed to insist that corrective actions are taken immediately. It is not a message of desperation and despair, but rather one of hope. Just as we have tackled seemingly intractable issues in the past, i.e. slavery, depression, world wars, racial injustice, we too are capable of mobilizing our efforts to confront and conquer an issue that threatens to radically change the environment of our planet. The Climate Project has trained 1,000 presenters worldwide to deliver the message about the threat of and the solutions to global warming. This presentation is your opportunity to engage individuals in your community to answer that challenge. Please consider sponsoring a forum for presentation and discussion of these critical issues. We truly can and must think globally and act locally. The future is now.

Al Gore Training Project Taps Lance Simmens as Global Warming Messenger

Mechanicsburg, PA resident Lance Simmens, who is Special Assistant to Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, has recently completed a rigorous training program led by former Vice President Al Gore to spread the message about the threat of and solutions to global warming. "Lance Simmens is an outstanding example of the millions of Americans who have been energized by the call to action on the climate crisis," said Gore. "We are so pleased that he has made a serious commitment to this challenge by coming to Nashville to become part of this unprecedented grassroots effort." "Lance will be spending the next year making presentations, discussing how individuals and businesses, schools, and other organizations can be a major part of the solution to the growing crisis of global warming," continued Gore. Lance Simmens was part of a select group of individuals chosen from thousands of applications to receive this important training Dec. 1-3. Each trainee took part in an intensive tutorial about issues surrounding global warming, led by Gore and a team of renowned scientists and environmental educators. In addition, each received technical training to become experienced presenters of a version of Gore's computer-based slide show, which became the basis of his best-selling book and documentary film, "An Inconvenient Truth."

SAVAGE GRACE
8/8 - 8/14



Adapted from the nonfiction book by Natalie Robins and Steven M.L. Aronson, Tom Kalin's Savage Grace recounts the true crime tale of the death of Barbara Baekeland. Stephen Dillane stars as Brooks Baekeland, the son of the man who invented Bakelite, one of the early forms of plastic. As the family fortune begins to decrease after years of wealth, Brooks marries Barbara (Julianne Moore), who desires to mingle in the highest social circles. They have a child, Antony, who is homosexual. Antony grows up to kill Barbara, in part because Barbara takes a personal interest in "curing" her son of his orientation. This was Kalin's first film since 1991's Swoon, a film about the infamous Leopold and Loeb murders.
