Whatever the measures of greed, wishful thinking, neglect or ignorance, we have put ourselves at a crossroad which offers two paths, both with dire consequences.If we continue to burn fossil fuels we will choke the life out of the planet and if we don't our way of life will collapse.
"Blind Spot is a fascinating documentary, it draws on some of the most impressive scientific minds to warn us about the dangers of our dependence on oil and educate us about our role in saving the earth and the lives of our children. I was transfixed by it."
-Howard Zinn
If we lived in a rational world, inhabited by rational human beings, viewing Blind Spot would be a mandatory prerequisite to taking any federal oath of office in the coming year. Were that to happen, there might be hope that the USA would resume world leadership and our renewed influence would be used to redirect ourselves and the world away from the unsustainable path upon which we plummeted along throughout the 20th century, mistakenly regarding the adventure as unmitigated progress.
-William Catton Jr., author of Overshoot
Beautiful, crucial, straightforward, brilliantly woven images, words and music.
-John Stauber, author of Toxic Sludge Is Good for You
Blind Spot rides currents of beauty and sadness, ultimately landing with a
catharsis that comes when truth has been told.
-Jason Bradford, founder of Willits Economic Localization
The next few decades arent going to look like the last few-not at all. And the sooner we come to terms with that, the better. This documentary is a good place to start.
-Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature
Noam Chomsky on Peak Oil:
Doubtless Peak Oil will come, the timing is a matter of debate. However we may be better off it it is not too long delayed, because it will accelerate what must be done to prevent environmental catastrophe.
