From the video vaults: climate change in 1958
Posted by jamie on 8 January 2008.
Al Gore's The Inconvenient Truth has been hailed as a revolution in the climate change debate, but it looks like he was way behind the times. Thanks to Martin at Making Waves for posting about an excerpt from The Unchained Goddess, an educational film made in 1958 (that's 50 years ago, fact fans) about the dangers of carbon dioxide emissions. The performances are a little ropey but it's prescient stuff, and involved the talents of no less than Frank Capra and Mel Blanc.
