IN THEATERS
Our friends at
Participant Media ("An Inconvenient Truth") have a number of
upcoming film projects. Opening today is the Disneynature
documentary Oceans,
a powerful film featuring spectacular never-before-seen imagery
captured by the latest underwater technologies. To learn about the
film and make a pledge to ensure healthy, clean oceans, visit savemyoceans.com.
Also, check out the documentary Climate
of Change which highlights the efforts of everyday people in the
fight against global warming. The film, narrated by actress Tilda
Swinton, will be premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival and is also
available via Video on Demand on most major cable systems. Click

We also encourage you to see the new live action family comedy Furry
Vengeance, opening April 30th. Participant's Social Action
Campaign for the movie will focus on endangered species and habitat
preservation, and they have created a teachers curriculum and family
activity booklet to help young people explore the issues. Click

MISSING HEAT
Two recent news
stories from Time
Magazine and US
News and World Report point to a troubling discovery that may
affect future climate change.
Over the past few years, while global CO2 emissions have
continued to grow, the global temperature rise hasn't kept pace,
suggesting that excess heat energy is getting trapped somehow.
Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
warn that this "missing" heat may be building up in the deep oceans
or elsewhere in the climate system, and will come back to haunt us
in the future.
