    Who can save us?

    I just watched "An Inconvenient Truth" last night, which is why this particular line from Stephanie Zacharek's review struck me: "Superman doesn't really exist, and in the face of the unspeakable, there's no one who can save us."

    As "An Inconvenient Truth" points out, faced with an uncertain future and drastic change, we are the only ones who can save ourselves.
