From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a creative thinker and committed small-d democrat. He has dealt with a wide range of topics throughout his life, and this book provides an excellent cross section. The Thom Hartmann Reader will make people both angry and motivated to act."
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.
