Where is the article or letter from the GE Union confirming what Bernie said??



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.
