Lobo Theatre (3013 Central Ave, East of UNM, Albuquerque)

Stonehaven Productions, Montreal and Swiss Re, the world’s largest reinsurer, collaborate using scientist Lydia Dotto’s book "Storm Warning—Gambling with the Climate of our Planet" as a basis. Shot on location around the world from the high Canadian Arctic to the Altiplano of Peru to Inner Mongolia to Bangladesh, to downtown New York City, the film explores realistic solutions, technologies and actions to reduce the impact of climate change. The Great Warming also showcases initiatives aimed at reversing the trend toward permanent damage to our planet, as well as scenes documenting the emerging voice of America’s faith community urging action on climate change.

Narrated by Alanis Morissette and Keanu Reeves. Producers hope the film moves people to action. Click for the film's official website with reviews, additional information, photos, videos, suggestions on how you can get involved.

A short discussion and specific suggestions for action in New Mexico will follow the one and one-half hour film screening. All are welcome. Questions? Call 266-6966

Co-hosted by: Partnership for Earth Spirituality, The City on a Hill, Albuquerque Mennonite, Unitarian Universalists of Santa Fe, NM Interfaith Power and Light. The Great Warming has been endorsed by the National Council of Churches, Evangelical Environmental Network and the Coalition on Environment and Jewish Life.
