A new report has blamed "racism" for black women receiving inferior maternity care. There's just one problem, says Prof Roger Watson: the report contains no hard data and does little more than quote subjective feelings.

'11th Hour' : Free Film Screening & Discussion

category galway | environment | event notice author Monday August 31, 2009 22:16author by Liamo Report this post to the editors

Free documentary screening followed by a discussion.

Leonardo DiCaprio (THE DEPARTED, TITANIC) presents this thought-provoking documentary about the fragile state of our planet's ecosystems and the dangers we face.

We've all seen the devastating effects of natural disasters like Hurricane Katrina, and now scientists and experts from around the world believe that unless we act immediately to cut carbon emissions and switch to renewable energy sources, humankind is in very real danger of becoming extinct. The film explores how we arrived at this unfortunate predicament, blaming industrial civilisation for much of the damage and world leaders for allowing it to happen. It's not all doom and gloom though; if we reduce the human footprint on Earth by a wide enough margin, we can effectively change the course of our planet's future. THE 11TH HOUR gathers an impressive list of supporters, including former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, renowned scientist Stephen Hawking, former head of the CIA R. James Woolsey, and over 50 leading scientists.
