What was your favorite astronomy lesson station? What were they teaching?

The 11th Hour

What was the most profound idea you took away from the documentary, The 11th Hour? Were your views on climate change affected by being exposed to the film?

In an additional paragraph, discuss how an anthopogenic, enhanced greenhouse effect due to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and deforestation could relate to severe weather events, specifically Hurricane Sandy, which is affecting millions of people on our Eastern shores today.
 (Note: If you feel that these weather events are not related to human activity, then state why and be specific.) No matter your claims, be sure to include research to back up what you say.
