Two Thousand and Ten

Coral reefs and climate change, a message for Copenhagen from Earth Touch on Vimeo.

~~~~~

This is a beautiful video - and the narrators child-like voice is a powerful one I think.  Estimates on extinction are similar to ones that I've read, although the easy exchange between the terms 'climate change' and 'ocean acidification' is a bit loosey-goosey for me. It's definitely a video that is playing on our emotions, which isn't necessarily a bad thing - in fact, perhaps it's necessary.?  Nonetheless - there is some beautiful footage here.

Love that. I've been sucked into a highschool conversation with some Christian Conservatives who deny any problems and offer "Gore says he invented the internet" as their supporting arguments. Hey, I thought of yall and wanted to call as I was in Chas. all week. Send contact info! Back in Jan. Jenks

Gorgeous. I'm glad someone has found a way to appeal to people's emotions while delivering the facts. Thanks for posting this.

Jenks, I've been in similar conversations, and they're impossible - hard not to get sucked into them though! I'll email you with contact info - we'd love to see you guys (oh, and I have a crinum question that I've been meaning to ask you too - about what the little seeded rock-like things were that I got from you, scattered on soil, and now have little baby crinums as a result - I think you guys had a specific names for the seeds or whatever and it's been bugging me because I can't remember).

Thanks Katherine - it really is gorgeous video (if you go to their website, they have other interesting ones as well).
