lynas turns to jake gyllenhaal as a possible solution. he’s good looking, brings in the big bucks, and most recently was able to convince the movie-going public that he and dennis quaid could save the world from a sudden global warming that threatens earth in “the day after tomorrow”. jake gyllenhaal can save me any day, but how can he help save earth? instead of wasting millions of dollars on movies that simply entertain and not educate the public, hollywood needs to step it up and bring countries like tuvalu into the foreground. if hollywood learned how to make a blockbuster that showed what the real effects of global warming had on its audiences, maybe we’d have a better chance at making sure the people of tuvalu stay afloat. if 1 degree can drown a country, one movie should be able to change someone’s idea of what global warming really is.

the technology is here, but without an infrastructure to implement it, there will be no progress.
