11th Hour = Optimisim

I'm no big fan of Dicaprio's acting skills. In the 11th Hour he proved that his speaking skills were no less wooden than his acting. Despite that, this film is a must see for everyone - liberals, conservatives, moderates and anarchists alike.

Why? This film is not partisan. Opinions are provided from diverse source including the former chief of the CIA, top scientists and thinkers, policy makers, entrepreneurs and activists. Absent from the film is the ghost of partisanship that hovered over Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth.

The film does a decent job laying out the causes and consequences of anthropomorphic climate change. But that is not its primary mission. More importantly, it seeks to answer the question of 'why?'. Why has the human race brought itself to a state of existence so disconnected from the biosphere - our home. And, unlike Gore's film realistic solutions are presented - not the sort of solutions that might be characterized as "tightening the belt" of consumption. Rather, the solutions presented paint a picture of the way many of us might agree the world ought to be, with or without climate change.
