On the 5th September, Marks Barfield Architects and the Building Centre Trust organised a pre-screening of Al Gore's compelling rallying cry on Global Warming - An Inconvenient Truth. Followed by a live talk and discussion on the issues raised with Nicky Gavron, Deputy Mayor of London, and Rt Hon John Gummer on what we in general, and the construction industry in particular, can do about it.
The film eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Al Gore's personal history and life-long commitment to reversing the effects of global warming.
The event was hugely popular and we now hope that those who attended will spread the word about the film and the strong messages entailed. John Gummer congratulated Julia Barfield and David Marks on organising the event, and expresses his views on the issues raised eloquently in his article in the Estates Gazette.
