Also, watch for a new film on climate change opening nationally today. “The Great Warming” is based on the book “Storm Warning: Gambling with the Climate of our Planet", by Lydia Dotto. It shows effects of global warming across the planet, and includes commentary from scientists and activists. It also highlights the emergence of evangelicals urging action on climate change. The film was produced by Canada's Stonehaven Productions, and is certified carbon neutral! For more info, see www.thegreatwarming.com
