CBC Documentary: The Truth About Global Warming
THE BIG PICTURE WITH AVI LEWIS(Wednesday September 27 at 7pm ET on CBC Newsworld)
**THE TRUTH ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING: CAN WE SAVE PLANET EARTH? (120 minutes)
Of the hottest years on record, nine out of ten have occurred since 1990. Thousands of plant and animal species are already on life support.
Hurricanes, floods, droughts, heat waves and forest fires are happening with more regularity and intensity than ever before. And in a matter of decades, some coastal communities could be entirely under water. All because of global warming. All because of the choices we make every day.
Legendary UK broadcaster Sir David Attenborough says we've reached a tipping point and that we must act now to save our planet. Through sensible, manageable, and meaningful changes he says we can save planet earth without tossing out our air conditioners and returning to the days of horse and buggies.
Watch the film and stay tuned for a town-hall debate with Avi Lewis.

gee, i haven't seen avi in a while (but no tv for the last year). he's certainlly the one to host a town-hall debate and was really the only counter-spin host who was really 'with it'.

I watched this program and it was really disturbing. Some good debates followed afterward. The Green Party's Elizabeth May made very compelling points, as did a few others. A Conservative MP from out West made it even more interesting, as you can imagine.
You're right, Avi is the one to host such town-hall debates. He has some more controversial programs coming up. Too bad you can't watch them.
