An Inconvenient Truth: Film Showing & regional decision makers response at the Broadway

On friday, the Broadway cinema screened 'An Inconvenient Truth'.

Following the screening a panel of local and regional decision makers respond to the film

and answered [or tried to :-))] questions about what's happening here in Nottingham and the

East Midlands already, and suggest how we can do more.

An Inconvenient Truth: Film Showing & regional decision makers response at the Broadway

On friday, the Broadway cinema screened 'An Inconvenient Truth'.

Following the screening a panel of local and regional decision makers respond to the film

and answered [or tried to :-))] questions about what's happening here in Nottingham and the

East Midlands already, and suggest how we can do more.

The film offered a passionate and inspirational look at one man's fervent crusade to halt

global warming's deadly progress in its tracks by exposing the myths and misconceptions

that surround it.

That man is former Vice President Al Gore, who, in the wake of defeat in the 2000 election,

re-set the course of his life to focus on a last-ditch, all-out effort to help save the

planet from irrevocable change.

Paramount Classics and Participant Productions present the film directed by Davis

Guggenheim, 'An Inconvenient Truth'. Featuring Al Gore, the film is produced by Laurie

David, Lawrence Bender and Scott Z. Burns. Jeff Skoll and Davis Guggenheim are the

executive producers and the co-producer is Leslie Chilcott.

Predictable lame panel....

24.09.2006 18:28

I was there, and the panel were so frustratingly lame. They were full of platitudes about "how important it is for us to all work together about this crucial problem" and similar, and talking about some very small things that were happening (eg. some parking restrictions!), but when pressed, would not abandon the intention to develop (eg. Broadmarsh enlargement, M1 widening, airport expansion etc.)or to realise that a growth economy is what is the problem...

These are all people who will say what they need to to look green, give out some low-energy lightbulbs and stick up a few wind turbines, but continue to develop at all costs. And as the film (despite its shortcomings) showed very clearly, the costs are huge.....

Funding needed for true sustainability,not greenwash guidelines

25.09.2006 16:11

they talk & give out greenwash sustainable guidelines that some of them believe in, which are then flouted by wimpy style housing companies etc they have encouraged to boost "our" economy.
Last year they held a meeting in Center Parcs, in the heart of Sherwood whilst dozens of housing estates were being built destroying ancient woodland, other devolpments have been smartly built by pouring more concrete next to river on the floodplain.
If Nottingham to be one of top 40 EU cities, how about making Nottingham a Climate & Peace City. We have a green reputation & dont need gun crime funded by the billion dollar heroin & crack market which maintains death squad regimes backing oil corporations in S.America & Afghanistan.
EMDA,etc can fund sustainable projects like those in St Annes Allotments & Hockerton more & use them as a model, not just tokenly, we could draw in more investment,help save the environment & boost the local economy, this would encourage more tourists also & hopefullu make those flying here to see Robin Hood consider more ecological ways
