The documentary An Inconvenient Truth offers the most articulate and disconcerting depiction of climate change I’ve ever seen, but I doubt it will make a difference. Americans are busy with work, families, television, shopping and hobbies. Our culture encourages us to have a full life, yet we long for more free time. In contrast, consider …
I caught the sneak preview of An Inconvenient Truth in Berkeley on Tuesday night a day before it opened. Given my true anal nature, I arrived over an hour early and was first in line. Maybe I’m a freak, but many people were turned away when they ran out of seats. Al Gore did a …
I was just reading on Treehugger how Fox News is gearing up the machine to debunk the new Al Gore documentary on Climate Change.

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been three months since my last update. I suppose when I decided to take …

An eclectic town that feels young thanks to the proximity of the University of Alaska. I hung out here for a few days preparing for my trek up north. I went to a great …
Valdez, Seward, Homer, Anchorage, Denali State Park and Coho Let’s see, where did I last leave off? Oh, yes the belly of the ferry. The ferry spit me out in Haines where I stayed one night and not finding anything that sparked my interest I left and drove to Valdez. A great town set at …
