 film.\n\nThe Truth about Climate Change\nby David Attenborough\n\nRenown 
 naturalist and BBC broadcaster, David Attenborough, undertakes a personal 
 journey to discover how global warming is changing the planet that he knows 
 so well.  Examining the evidence for this confusing phenomenon, he finds 
 out what’s causing it and whether humankind is to blame.  He discovers 
 that the Earth is warming at an unprecedented rate, far beyond any normal 
 allowance for cyclical fluctuation.  He then asks the question:  “What is 
 the future of our world?”  Sir David investigates some of the possible 
 scenarios for the future, including rising sea levels, insect plagues, and 
 an increase in diseases.  From hurricane Katrina to glacier ice crashing 
 into the sea, he discovers that we are in a race against time.  Starving 
 polar bears as well as the first direct victim of global warming, the 
 recently extinct golden toad, demonstrate that the danger for humanity may 
 not be far behind.  Extraordinary phenomena have taken place in recent 
 times; Hurricane Katrina, the heat wave of 2003, polar bears swimming in 
 search of ice, and vast swarms of insects enveloping an African village.  
 People around the world are having to adapt their way of life as the 
 climate changes.  The Inuit in the Arctic can no longer hunt the way they 
 need to;  Pacific Island inhabitants are forced to move as their homes 
 disappear beneath the waves;  and homes in Siberia are slowly sinking into 
 the permafrost.  Sir David delivers his message in a balanced and 
 unimposing way.  These changes are already in motion whatever we do now, 
 but Sir David believes that we may be able to act to prevent a catastrophe. 
  He explores the personal and technological changes we can make to avert 
 catastrophe.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th
