Description
You must have heard
You must have known it by now
Times have changed and not for the better
Soon all of us will be without a shelter

What use to be our planet is not all it was cracked up to be
The icebergs are melting and the weather is drastic
Our cars, our electricity, our way of life is bringing us down
Where it use to be life is now slowly decaying

We will tell our children of how green everything use to be
We will tell them when the weather was nice
We will tell them but they will find it hard to believe
The reflections of how it use to be


****

An Inconvenient Truth. Indeed.
Take some time and watch [link] and see what you think will happen to us next.

I watched the video. I really thought it was a great video. Al Gore is very informative.

But anyways, you photography is simply amazing. I am not sure if it has a meaning behind it, but I have to say I love it.

not to be a douche or anything, but human-induced global warming is not proven to be happening.

agreed. al gore bends the facts in order to prove his point. he doesn't show the whole picture which really shows that this is just a natural heating and cooling cycle that the earth has been going through since the beginning of time. it's actually cooler this year too. the polar bears are not dying out (only one small subdivision of polar bears has had a decrease in average population) and the antartic icebergs are actually currently expanding.

fuelfreak108 In reply to bunnyluv2 [2008-08-04 05:14:02 +0000 UTC]

yeah and the data he uses to "prove" warming is inaccurate.

This site addresses many of the common global warming fallacies.

Regardless, still an awesome piece as usual Gilad. Top notch.

Beautiful photo, and great concept.
Although, if you're believing Al Gore (who frequently flies in his private jet), you should take a moment to also look into the documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle.
At school, they made us watch An Inconvenient Truth followed by this documentary--where a bunch of top university graduated scientists tell you the scientific truth, which very much opposes what Mr. Gore has to say.
