Glenthompson and district residents will be able to view the controversial Academy award-winning documentary, `An Inconvenient Truth', on Wednesday. This documentary about climate change, specifically global warming, is presented by former United States vice-president Al Gore and was directed by Davis Guggenheim.
With an area just south of the township currently the subject of a planning application for a wind farm, the Oaklands Hill Wind Farm developers are giving residents the opportunity to view this film which focuses heavily on climate change as a result of carbon emissions. Since its release two years ago, the film has been generally well received by critics, scientists and politicians while sceptics opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming have attacked the film as "hype".
This screening will give residents a chance to make up their own minds, while a gold coin donation to the film will assist the Glenthompson Community Association's playground appeal. An Inconvenient Truth will be screened at the Glenthompson War Memorial Hall at 7pm Wednesday. The screening will be followed by a light supper.
