In 1958, Frank Capra produced an educational film titled "The Unchained Goddess," which introduced the public to the issue of global warming.

Quoting from the film, "Even now, Man may be unwittingly changing the world's climate through the waste products of his civilization."

This was nearly 60 years ago, and long before Dr. Hanson's first warning.

A video clip with this quote is currently available on YouTube:

Along with this, Capra's accompanying film, "Our Mr. Sun" -- ignoring its heavily 1950s-era right-wing Christian overtones -- is actually a fine introduction to early research on the use and promise of solar energy as an alternative. This is currently available on YouTube as well.

Bottom line, both global warming and the promise of renewable energy have been known for at least sixty years.

From Screwed:

"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."

—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine

From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:

"If you wonder why and when giant corporations got the power to reign supreme over us, here’s the story."

—Jim Hightower, national radio commentator and author of Swim Against the Current

From Cracking the Code:

"Thom Hartmann ought to be bronzed. His new book sets off from the same high plane as the last and offers explicit tools and how-to advice that will allow you to see, hear, and feel propaganda when it's directed at you and use the same techniques to refute it. His book would make a deaf-mute a better communicator. I want him on my reading table every day, and if you try one of his books, so will you."

—Peter Coyote, actor and author of Sleeping Where I Fall
