The Hamilton College Democrats and the Town of Kirkland Democratic Committee will host a screening of "Out of Balance, ExxonMobil's Impact on Climate Change,"
on Thursday, March 1, at 7 p.m. in the Kennedy Science Auditorium. The film will be followed by a discussion, moderated by Philosophy Professor Richard Werner. Refreshments will be served.
This 65-minute film shows the influence that the largest company in the world has on governments, the media and citizens, and what can be done about global warming. According to thefilmmaker, "While the Earth's climate is pushed further out of balance by increasing use of fossil fuels, ExxonMobil continues to assert undue influence around the world -- making record profits while ignoring climate science, on which there has been overwhelming consenus for more than 10 years."
"Out of Balance" does not just critique ExxonMobil. It also offers challenging, large-scale ideas for the global social changes that must take place if there's any chance of having a livable planet for future generations.
