There was a time during my academic pursuits when I had to present an argument for the sake of my grades that Global Warming was a hoax and Al Gore, its biggest promoter, was nothing more than a crook.......Now some years later, my conviction about Al Gore is still strong (based on facts) but Global Warming, no it isn't a hoax anymore. Every year we hear that this year is gonna be the warmest and I feel shit.....It's as much true a fact that Sun rises in the east and I now know that my professor wasn't going to give a shit what global warming was, sitting in a well air-conditioned room. It was a test for checking out our debating skills and although I won that day comprehensively, I now feel like a person who is deceiving none but himself.......
On 21st October, Leonardo Di Caprio, a prominent environmentalist, an UN representative and goodwill ambassador and actor par excellence, released a documentary titled 'Before the Flood' in association with National Geographic Channel. It raises many concerns among which the most prominent was that our next generation is not going to be an engineer, a doctor or an MBA. They could only hope to be survivors of the torrid, unprecedented environmental impacts that are going to occur nonetheless in 50-100 years of time. This documentary is up for free-viewing till this Sunday and you can watch it on either YouTube or NGC's streaming site. Now some of you might label it as a truly propaganda film but mark my words, as someone who has opposed this phenomenon for many years, it's as much true as it gets.......watch it and if you could, do something about it!!!
