Gen. Wesley Clark, Jeff Bridges Release New Climate Change Documentary.

A new documentary is aptly titled Hot Money, a reference to the flow of funds between countries to earn a short-term profit from the difference in interest rates.

In the film, former NATO Commander and Retired Four-Star Gen. Wesley Clark and his son, Wes Clark Jr., lead viewers through the realities of the financial system and the economic effects of climate change.

...stopped climate change in its tracks.

Rent Live Earth

It's been almost 14 years since that worldwide blowout that blew out climate change on July 7, 2007.

It's definitely time for entertainers to remind us about climate change.

I remember a photo of a swell guy wearing a "No Nukes" tee shirt to the "Live Earth" concert that I guess he kept from an earlier concert held by faculty the Rock 'n Roll School of Physics.

He was very entertaining.

The big entertainers always knew that all we ever needed was more and more and more so called "renewable energy."

It's working just great:

The week beginning July 8, 2007, the week starting just after "Live Earth," the concentration of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere as measured at the Mauna Loa CO2 observatory was 385.00 ppm.

As of this morning, 06/16/21 at the same observatory:

Recent Daily Average Mauna Loa CO2

June 15: 419.48 ppm
June 14: 418.97 ppm
June 13: 418.95 ppm
June 12: 418.67 ppm
June 11: 419.38 ppm

Don't worry. Be happy.

It's all wonderfully entertaining, in a desperate kind of way.

I always thought that engineering might be a better approach than entertaining to address climate change and address human development goals, but I'm just a cynic.
