The documentary makes plain the major differences in the way we used to fight, for the preservation of freedom and our democracy, and what we are doing now.

Looking closer to home, why do we, as environmentalists, as human beings, as fellows living beings on earth, fight against our own government who is now showing signs of not even listening to us anymore. Why do we fight for such frivolous things as universal health care, the environment, economic equality, against war? Why We Fight, can be explained in this quote from David Suzuki.

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man."

A myth because there is nobody who has ever printed that quote who has provided an original source. Also two people (here and here) have taken it up with actual Einstein historians who have never heard of the quote.

However, even if it is a myth, the quote is quite apt. Recently the Bee has been disappearing. What would happen if the bees disappeared?

So what's happening? It seems to be called CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder). Many reasons are being researched, from the foods being fed the bees to cell phones. Whatever the reasons this is a real problem.

KERRY: I'm excited to hear you talk about the urgency - I really am. And given that - albeit you still sort of have a different approach - what would you say to Sen. Inhofe and to others in the Senate who are resisting even the science? What's your message to them here today?

GINGRICH: My message I think is that the evidence is sufficient that we should move towards the most effective possible steps to reduce carbon-loading of the atmosphere.

KERRY: And to it urgently - and now...

GINGRICH: And do it urgently. Yes.

If I can, let me explain partly why this is a very challenging thing to do if you're a conservative. For most of the last 30 years, the environment has been a powerful emotional tool for bigger government and higher taxes. And therefore, if you're a conservative, the minute you start hearing these arguments, you know what's coming next: which is bigger government and higher taxes.

So even though it may be the right thing to do, you end up fighting it because you don't want big government and higher taxes. And so you end up in these kinds of cycles. And part of the reason I was delighted to accept this invitation and I'm delighted to be here with Sen. Kerry is I think there has to be a if you will a "green conservatism" - there has to be a willingness to stand up and say alright here's the right way to solve these as seen by our value system.

That is Newt admitting that conservatives have been fighting against the evidence of Global warming because it leads to bigger government and higher taxes in spite of the danger and the truth!
