Dear Leonardo,
I love you, man. I love the way you brought Rose back to life on the Titanic. I love the way you pushed yourself and your people to do the impossible as Howard Hughes The Aviator. I love the way you died in Blood Diamond. Most of all, I love that you took a stand for saying what needs to be said in 11th Hour.
And here is where I want to land a distinction in you. Being sincere is not the equivalent of being authentic. In 11th Hour you were sincere. You were not authentic.
If you were authentic the viewer would come away feeling what truly moved you to make the film in the first place. You did not reveal the truth of that for us. We long for someone to speak the truth to us about what is going on in the world.
I would love to have you do a re-release, a director’s cut, that blows people out of the water with your authentic truth. You know, if it all comes down like it looks like it’s going to come down (see www.just-stop.org), what have you got to lose? It will all be gone anyway, so why not take the risk to say it like you feel it?
If you dared to tell your authentic truth with this film, then even in the opening scenes you would be sobbing. You know this. We are so sad that the polar bears are drowning, but no one will help us to feel this. You could. Your fear of losing modern civilization would pour out through your heart into ours so we could have the courage to change our behavior before it is too late. I want there to be movies for my great grandchildren to see. I love movies. Your rage at our stupidity would sear the consequences of greed and denial into our nerves so we would be forced to wake up to what we are doing by not doing anything differently.
What drove you to make 11th Hour is your love for the possibility of humanity and for the miracle and beauty of the Earth. We know this. Please let us feel this. Please let’s make 11th Hour again with the real you in it, the man who stands for hope for all of us. You can do this. We can help you.
Your friend and ally,

My Comments
With our technology a truly revolutionary solution is at hand to prevent destruction of our climate on planet earth. So there is a method to transition from the fossil fuel source to nee renewable sources without too much disruption.
Right now, the critical issue is to save life on the planet - this is why our message is to do something now - rather than deflecting attention to decades into the future as alternatives for electricity generation and calls for renewable fuels may or may not manifest in reality in the required time frame.
Unlike the Y2K computer bug there is no set target date for fixing this climate change problem.
We have manifested a technology to destroy CO2 emissions which is up to 99.90% effective.
Our stated purpose is:
"Making our CO2 Solution Technology widely available to people, organizations and governments globally and promoting the retrofit of existing sources of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere" refer to http://climatecleanup.com/CO2_Reduction_about.htm
It seems the sensible thing to do. We have been successful in locating the technology and now we have the task of getting it into general use world wide.
Perhaps you would like to help us?
We have a very small device which can be located at the point CO2 is emitted and we can destroy it.
Fortunately, our own device can be easily integrated into existing CO2 Capture Systems for Power Stations, Refineries, Industrial Smoke Stacks, Automobiles, Trains, Ships and Aircraft and provide the needed boost to cut the bulk of CO2 emissions fast.
I learnt this week that China currently commissions one new Electricity Generating Power Plant each week. The race is on to save the planet and life.
Fields of application for our CO2 Reduction Technology include power plant smoke stacks, exhausts in manufacturing, processing and refining industries, and land-sea-air transport of all sizes. Ours is a truly revolutionary and universal solution.
Both you and I and humanity are mutually faced with the grave danger of an environmental collapse. The prospect of the collapse of our environment and the devastating effects for all forms of life on earth is intolerable.
We can join together and solve the problem once and for all.
I invite you and your organizations to help us gain widespread acceptance and use of our CO2 Reduction Technology. If you want to help, you are welcome. Please contact me.
