Show Notes (Sat 15th March 2008)

A special show looking at documentary movies linked with climate change and the consequences of peak oil.

This week's guest was Vickie Heaney.

Music played on the show:

• Ja, Das Ist Mein Melodie by Carice van Houten from Black Book (2006)

• Hakuna Matata from The Lion King (1994)

Al Gore gave a 16 minute presentation during the February 2006 TED conference, which covers the main themes of An Inconvenient Truth. This is probably more accessible and easier to digest for anyone unwilling to endure the full 90 minutes of the documentary.
