I’ve just had the privilege of watching “Disruption,” a documentary that is both emotionally moving and intellectually scintillating.  And, perhaps more important, it’s an enormously effective tool for bringing attention to the mobilization taking place worldwide for demonstrations slated for the twenty-first of this month.  It has just been released today.  Rather than read my thoughts about it, I would strongly urge you go to directly to the doc right now.  Here’s the link:  https://watchdisruption.com

Okay, still around?  “Disruption,” as you’ll learn, is a terrific title.  Some of the foremost activists of the climate change movement speak to why “This Changes Everything,” as Naomi Klein puts it so memorably in the title of her new book about how and why the warming challenges the fundaments of our socio-economic systems.  Her latest comes out in a week.  She appears in this documentary along with a host of spokespeople who bring facts and emotion to bear on what is clearly the most challenging issue humans have ever faced.  Van Jones, Bill McKibben, Chris Hayes, and many other voices join in expressing why, if you can be in New York City on the 21st, you’ll want to make your presence known to world leaders meeting at the United Nations.  They’ll be arriving to, once again, address climate change.  The marchers, and the movement they hope to strengthen, will be there to try to compel those leaders to take serious action to address not just climate change, but the underlying economic structures that will squander our future if we don’t wrest control from them.
